The main personality setting will often involve a choice between some other type of protocol and DMX. Always choose DMX when working with the Power Cue DMX. Other available settings will vary according to the model and brand of fixture.
You will need to set a DMX start address for each fixture on the other DIP switches. These addresses must correspond to the addresses you set on the Power Cue DMX. Please refer to the manual for your fixtures for instructions.
Many intelligent fixture instruction manuals also provide a table, showing how to set the DIP switches for any required address.
It is easy to become confused when working with fixtures that are not all the same way up or facing in the
same direction. The Power Cue TIP! DMX helps you here. The PAN and
TILT options in step 5. above allow you to change left to right and right to left, so that you can work on opposite sides of a room simultaneously.
AXIS allows you to switch horizontal and vertical and is useful when working with fixtures installed horizontally instead of vertically.
