You can set the COLORado™ 1 IP start address in the 001~512 DMX range. This allows for the control of up to 46 fixtures in the 11-channel TOUR personality. In addition, the ID address system allows you to assign up to 66 fixtures within the same DMX address, thus multiplying the number of fixtures you can control within a single universe. You can access the fixture’s ID address system from channel 11 when in the TOUR personality.

When programming live performances as well as cues that need to trigger on demand or on a time line, program no more than 10 fixtures on ID addressing per DMX channel. This is to remain within a one-second execution time.
