Fixture DMX addressing;
All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so the
correct fixture responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the
channel number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control information sent
out from the DMX controller. The allocation of this starting DMX address is achieved by
setting the correct DMX address on the digital display located on the head of the fixture.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different
address for each individual fixture. Be advised that setting all you fixtures to the same DMX
address will subsequently control all fixtures in the same fashion, in other words, changing
the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.
If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the
channel number you have set, based on the quantity of control channels (DMX channels) of
each fixture. That means changing the settings of one channel will only affect the selected
fixture.
In the case of the CMY Zoom 575™, which is a 11 channel fixture, you should set the
starting DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 12 (11 + 1), the third unit to 23
(11 + 12), and so on.
Note: During start-up the CMY Zoom 575™ will automatically detect whether a DMX data
signal is being received or not. If DMX data signal is being received, the display will show
"A.XXX" (XXX representing the actual DMX address). If the fixture is not receiving a DMX
