1. 512 will require access to one or more sequential channels To do this each fixture requires a start address from 1 to 512 A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the start address For example a fixture that uses six DMX channels and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100 would read data from channels 100 101 102 103 104 and 105 The user must assign a starting address on the fixture that indicates the first channel reserved in the controller There are many different types of DMX controllable fixtures and they all may vary in the total number of channels required Choosing a start address should be planned in advance Channels should never overlap If they do this will result in erratic operation of the fixtures whose starting address are set incorrectly However you can control multiple fixtures of the same type using the same starting address as long as the intended result is that of unison movement or operation In other words the fixtures will be slaved together and they will all respond in exactly the same way DMX fixtures are designed to receive data through a serial DMX Daisy Chain In a Daisy Chain the DATA OUT of one fixture connects to the DATA IN of the next fixture The order in which the fixtures are connected is not important and has no effect on how a controller communicates to each fixture Use an order that provides for the easiest and most direct cabli2.
