Assigning output addresses
After assigning devices to their spot numbers, it is necessary to set up the output
addresses.
The local DMX address on each moving light must correspond to the number that
appears in the OUT row in the assignment table. Plan ahead and set the local DMX
addresses on the devices before they are hung in an inaccessible location!
The Set Address function offers these options:
•
Assign spots to connectors.
•
Auto set up - where the system accesses the definition data and sets up accordingly.
•
Specify the number of DMX channels to be used as a default assignment.
•
Enable or disable spot output.
Connector definitions
Connectors transmit DMX512 protocol, High End protocol, or S-Mix.
The default connector definitions are determined by the number of spots in the System
Configuration and by which connector is defined for channels. The channel connector is
defined in Service Tools/config system/special numbers/H. Define the connector dedicated
to channels before defining connectors in this menu.
