DMX Channels
The VistaBeam 610 operates on DMX Channel 1 or 7.
On DMX Channel 1, one DMX address controls all 6 lamps on
one dimmer channel. Channels 2-6 not used. A 7th address
controls the HO/Std setting. Not assigning the 7th address
results in the xture operating at the HO setting.
On DMX Channel 7, the rst six DMX addresses
control 6 lamps individually. After the rst DMX address is
entered, the VistaBeam 610 automatically assigns 6 addresses
to lamp positions 1-6, and address 7 controls the HO/Std
setting. Not assigning the 7th address results in the xture
operating at the HO setting.
The VistaBeam 310 operates on DMX Channel 1 or 4.
On DMX Channel 1, one DMX address controls all 3 lamps on
one DMX channel. Channels 2 & 3 not used. A 4th address
controls the HO/Std. Not assigning the 4th address results
in the xture operating at the HO setting.
On DMX Channel 4, the rst three DMX addresses control
3 lamps individually. After the rst DMX channel is entered,
the VistaBeam 310 automatically assigns 3 addresses to lamp
positions 1-3, and address 4 controls the HO/Std setting. Not
assigning the 4th address results in the xture operating at the
HO setting.
Note: Setting the xture to DMX Channel 1 allows the user to recreate the “inside-out”
pattern of the manual selector dial. One of the best applications for DMX Channel 1 is
when lighting Blue and Green Screens or large cycloramas.
For example, one row of xtures can be set to 001 or a common address. When the fader on
the dimmer board is brought up or down, all the xtures on that address will have the same
lamps turned on.
