Menu navigation

The DMX address and any error messages are displayed after the fixture resets. To enter the menu, press
[menu]. Use the [up] and [down] keys to move within the menu. To select a function or submenu, press
[enter]. To escape a function or menu, press [menu].

DMX Mode selection

The fixture has two DMX operating modes, 16-bit and 16-bit Extended. 16-bit Extended mode uses 17 DMX
channels, three more than the 14 DMX channels than standard 16-bit mode requires. 16-bit Extended mode
provides more precise control of the dimmer color, and focus settings. The DMX mode is selected using the
PSET option in the fixture control menu (see "Control menu" on page 30).

DMX Address selection

For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own address and non-overlapping control
channels. Two MAC 250 Kryptons can share the same address if they are to respond identically: they will
receive the same instructions and individual control will not be possible.
