System Settings - Output

These are the settings for the DMX outputs of the consoles, including RDM, and the DMX Input
function.

NOTE
When the software is started in Offline mode there is no DMX output.

DMX SETTINGS

Local DMX Output
Set the start output and output speed for the DMX outputs of the consoles. The main reason for
changing output speed is that you are controlling older equipment that isn't compatible with full speed
DMX.

DMX Start
Change the start address of each physical DMX port. These are given in ‘absolute’ values, so Universe
2 is 513, Universe 3 is 1025 etc.
This allows you to change which Console DMX Universe the local DMX ports will output, for
example you may wish to have both ports output the same Universe or to have them output Universes
3 and 4, with 1 and 2 only sent over Ethernet.
Defaults are 1 and 513.

DMX Speed
Set the output speed for the DMX outputs of the consoles. The main reason for changing output speed
is if you are controlling older equipment that isn't able to receive full speed DMX.
Default is Maximum.
