Fixture DMX addressing;

All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so the correct fixture responds to the correct control signal. 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 DMX address is achieved by setting the correct DMX address on the digital display located on the head of the fixture.

You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different address for each individual fixture. Be advised that setting all you fixtures to the same DMX address will subsequently control all fixtures in the same fashion, in other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.

If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number you have set, based on the quantity of control channels (DMX channels) of each fixture. That means changing the settings of one channel will only affect the selected fixture.

In the case of the Design Par 575H™, which is a 8 channel fixture, you should set the starting DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 9 (8 + 1), the third unit to 17 (8 + 9), and so on.

Note: During start-up the Design Par 575H™ will automatically detect whether a DMX data signal is being received or not. If DMX data signal is being received, the display will show
