Setting the DMX Start Channel
Each standard configuration DL.1 fixture requires a block of 11 consecutive channels
on a 512-Channel DMX link. A range of 20 Channels for Enhanced (Camera)
Protocol is required for a DL.1 fixture equipped with Digital Eye Technology.
Up to forty-six 11-channel standard DL.1 fixtures (25 running Enhanced Protocol)
can be assigned to a single 512-channel DMX link.
