Configuring the Starting Address
The Swarm™ 4
fixture uses up to four DMX channels. In this DMX configuration/personality,
the highest configurable address is 509. Any address higher than this will prevent access to all
of the channels while in this mode; however, if you desire to use one of the other DMX
configurations (personalities), please consider the total DMX channels when selecting a DMX
address.
If this is your first time using DMX, we recommend reading the “DMX Primer” section in the
“Appendix”.
