DMX Mode
This mode allows you to control the fixture by any universal DMX controller.
•
All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the
signals. This digital start address is the channel number from which the device starts to "listen" to
the DMX controller. The same starting address can be used for a whole group of devices or an
individual address can be set for every device.
•
When all devices have the same address, all the units will "listen" to the control signal on one
particular channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices
simultaneously. If you set individual addresses, each device will "listen" to a separate channel
number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question.
•
In case of the 5-channel VDP5001RGBLD5, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1
(CH1~5), the second to 6 (1 + 5) (CH6~10), the third to 11 (6 + 5) (CH11~15), and so on.
•
Use DIP switches [9] 1 – 9 to specify the DMX address:
