C.1.1 DMX Channel Setup
Each personality has a different number of channels:
• Setup Personality - 38 channels
• Show Personality - 18 channels
• ZAP VIP Projector Yoke Personality - 25 channels
It is very important to properly configure the base channel (depending on which personality is used) correctly.
While the DMX specification allows for device overlapping, this may cause undesired results. Below is a table
of how projectors should be configured (assuming that all projectors are to be controlled independently and use
the same personality):
