Assigning DMX addresses to selected spots
You can assign addresses to selected spots. Using this option, you are prompted to specify
the connector assignment for each spot.
If you are using only DMX spots, spots can be assigned to either connector. If you are
using some DMX spots and High-End or S-Mix, DMX spots can only be assigned to
