Configuration (DMX)

Configuration (DMX)

Setting this product to operate in DMX mode will allow you to control it with a DMX controller.

1)Connect this product to a suitable power outlet

2)Turn this product on

3)Connect a DMX cable from the DMX output of the DMX controller to the DMX input socket of this product.

Starting Address

When selecting a starting DMX address, you must always consider the number of DMX channels assigned to the selected DMX mode. If you choose a starting address that is too high, you could limit the access to some of the channels of the DMX mode in use.

The SlimPAR™ 56 uses up to seven DMX channels in the 7-CHpersonality, which defines the highest configurable address to 507.

If you are not familiar with the DMX protocol, you may refer to the “DMX Primer” section in the “Technical Information” chapter.

To select the starting address, do the following:

1)Press <MENU> repeatedly until 3-CHor 7-CHshows on the display.

2)Press <ENTER>.

3)Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the starting address: d001~d507.

4)Press <ENTER>.

Configuration (Standalone)

5)Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select P5 or P6 shows on the display.

Never connect a fixture that is operating in Static, Automatic, Custom Static, or Sound Active mode to a DMX string that is being controlled by a DMX controller because the signals from the fixture may interfere with the signals from the controller.
