4. Operation
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.
If ID Addressing
is active in a
fixture’s control
panel, unintended results
may occur if DMX channel
11’s value is higher than
“0” when in TOUR. Make
sure to disable ID
addressing and to set
DMX channel 11 to “0” if
using TOUR.

Control Options (RGBW Fixtures)
You can set the Ilumipod 42 IP Optic RGBW start address in the 001~512 DMX range. This
allows for the control of up to 46 fixtures in the 11-channel TOUR personality. In addition, the
ID address 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. You can access the
fixture’s ID address system from channel 11 when in the TOUR personality.
