Configuration (DMX)

Starting Address
When selecting a starting DMX address, you must always consider the number of DMX
channels assigned to the selected DMX mode. If you choose a starting address that is too high,
you could limit the access to some of the channels of the DMX mode in use.
The SlimPAR™ 56 uses up to seven DMX channels in the 7-CH personality, which defines the
highest configurable address to 507.
If you are not familiar with the DMX protocol, you may refer to the “DMX Primer” section in the
“Technical Information” chapter.
To select the starting address, do the following:
1) Press <MENU> repeatedly until 3-CH or 7-CH shows on the display.
2) Press <ENTER>.
3) Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the starting address: d001~d507.
4) Press <ENTER>.
