Projector DMX start address selection
All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX signal, so that the correct fixture
responds to the correct control signals. 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 address is achieved by setting the correct number on the display located on the base of the device.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or make different address for each
fixture individually.
If you set the same address, all the units will start to “listen” to the same control signal from the same channel
number. In other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.
If you set a different address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number you have set, based on the
quantity of control channels of the unit. That means changing the settings of one channel will affect only the
selected fixture.
In the case of the wash head, which is a 23 channel fixture, you should set the starting address of the first unit
to 1, the second unit to 24(23 + 1), the third to 47 (23 + 24), and so on.
