APPENDIX DMX Primer There are 512 channels in a DMX-512 connection. Channels may be assigned in any manner. A fixture capable of receiving DMX-512 will require one or a number of sequential channels. 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.

Color Calibration This function is used to match a specific color across multiple fixtures. It provides the means to offset a given color wheel position up to 10° from the default, thus enabling a slight color shift. This setting can be stored into the unit and will remain until a {dF.SE} factory default reset is performed. 1. Set the DMX values on channel 14 between values 064 and 127. Any number between these two numbers will work. 2.
