c) Selecting the Start Address for the DMX Projector
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 digital commands from the DMX
controller.
You can use the same starting address for a whole group of devices or enter an individual one 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 different
addresses, each device will "listen" to a separate channel number. Changing the settings of one channel will only
affect the device in question.
In the case of the 3-channel VDP150BR3, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1, the second unit
to 4 (1 + 3), the third to 7 (4 + 3), and so on.
The LED flashes when there is a DMX signal and remains extinguished when there is no input DMX signal.
The device will display the current DMX start address as soon as you turn it on. The start address can be adjusted
with the YES and NO buttons. Confirm with the ENTER button; the display will read "PASS" if your settings are
accepted. Other functions can also be selected with the F-DOWN and F-UP buttons. Change the values for those
functions with YES (+) and NO (-) and confirm them with ENTER.
