Operating in a DMX Control mode environment gives the user the greatest flexibility when it comes to
customizing or creating a show. You can tailor your programming to suit a specific event. Whether it
is a wedding where a spot light may be required or a lead singer requiring a color solo, the
opportunities are endless. In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of the fixture
independently.

Menu Functions
DMX-512 addressing
DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a "start
address" from 1 to 511. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data
on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that occupies or uses 6 channels
of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101,
102, 103, 104, and 105. Choose start addresses so that the channels used do not overlap and notate
the start address selected for future reference.
