Configuration

(DMX)

Set the product in DMX mode to control with a DMX controller.

1. Connect the product to a suitable power outlet.

2. Connect a DMX cable from the DMX output of the DMX controller to the DMX input

socket on the product.

Starting Address

When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels

the selected DMX mode uses. If you

choose a starting address that is too high, you could

restrict the access to some of the product’s channels.

The HIVE™ uses up to 20 DMX channels in its 20-channel

DMX mode, which defines the

highest configurable address to 493.
