4.4 Operation with a DMX controller

For operation by means of a DMX light con-
troller (e. g. DMX-1440 or DMX-510USB
from "img Stage Line"), the LED light effect
bar is equipped with 59 DMX control chan-
nels. However, it can also be controlled by
11, 8, 5, 4 or 3 channels if the functions pro-
vided by these channels suffice (see chap-
ter 5.1) or if less than 59 channels are avail-
able at the light controller.
DMX stands for Digital Multiplex and
means digital control of multiple DMX units
via a common control line.

4.4.2 Using subaddresses

In the 11-channel mode and in the 59-
channel mode, subaddresses may be used
to independently control up to 66 ODB-
1212RGBW one after the other via a single
DMX start address. Thus, the maximum
number of DMX units possible is substan-
tially increased. The last DMX channel (11
or 59) is used to select units with a subad-
dress. Units having the same start address
and different subaddresses may be con-
trolled in sync if DMX channel 11 or 59 is
set to a DMX value less than 10.
