You can set the COLORado™ 1-Tri IP start address in the 001~512 DMX range. This allows for the control of up to 51 fixtures in the 10-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 10 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.

Carry out all the programming procedures indicated below from the control panel. Refer to the Menu Map on page 14 to learn how the menu options relate to each other.

To go to an option, press <MENU> repeatedly until the option shows on the display.

To select an option value, press <UP> or <DOWN> until you see the desired value and press <ENTER> to accept it.

To exit to the previous menu level, press <MENU>.

This setting allows the user to choose a particular DMX personality.

1)Go to PERS.

2)Select the desired personality (TOUR, ARC1, AR1 + D, AR1 + S, or HSV).

3)Make sure that the starting addresses on the various fixtures do not overlap due to the new personality setting. See the DMX Values section.

In this mode, each unit will respond to a unique starting address from the DMX controller. All units with the same starting address will respond in unison.

1)Select the TOUR personality as shown in DMX Personality.

2)Set the running mode:

a)Go to RUN.

b)Select DMX.

3)Set the starting address:

a)Go to DMX.

b)Select the starting address (001~512).

4)Deactivate ID Addressing on each fixture:

a)Go to SET > ID.

b)Select OFF.

Make sure to deactivate ID Addressing in each fixture when using the TOUR personality. Otherwise, unintended results may occur if channel 10 is not set to “0”.
