You can set the COLORado™ 1 VW start address in the 001~512 DMX
range. This allows for the control of up to 85 fixtures in the 6-channel
STUDIO 2 personality. However, a secondary ID address system exists for
use in a limited DMX universe and architectural environments.
This system allows you to assign up to 66 fixtures within the same DMX
address, thus multiplying the number of fixtures you can control within a
single universe to 5,610. You can access the fixture's ID address system
from channel 6 when in the STUDIO 2 personality.
When programming live performances as well as cues that need to trigger
on demand or on a time line, program no more than 10 fixtures on ID
addressing per DMX channel. This is to remain within a one-second
execution time.
1) Go to MENU > RUN and select dMX.
2) Go to MENU > dMX and select a starting DMX address (001~512).
3) Go to MENU > SET > IdON and select OFF.
If ID Addressing is active in a fixture's control panel, unintended
results may occur when DMX channel 11 values are higher than 0.
Make sure to disable ID addressing and to set DMX channel 11 to 0.
1) Repeat steps 1 and 2 from DMX Control Without ID Addressing.
2) Go to MENU > SET > IdON and select ON.
3) Go to MENU > ID and select an ID address (1~66)
On the Master unit:
1) Go to MENU > RUN and select DMX.
2) Go to MENU > STAI and configure a static color.
On each of the Slave units:
1) Go to MENU > RUN and select SLAV.
The slave units will reproduce the same static color than the master unit.
