Configuration And Operation

DMX Only Configuration

A DMX-only control system is one where all the control signals run over DMX cables and into
the DMX port of the Next™ NXT-1. Color, intensity, and movement control comes to the
Next™ NXT-1 from a DMX controller.
When using DMX only, the Next™ NXT-1 is a moving head that can be pixel-mapped and
has a variety of built-in effects, including alphanumeric characters. There are a variety of
DMX personalities, using different numbers of channels. The personalities with less channels
have less functionality, but are good for control environments with limited DMX universes.
The personalities with more channels have more functionality, but require many DMX
channels.
For specific information about the functionality of each DMX personality, see DMX
Personalities.
