DMX ADDRESSING
All xtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so the correct xture
responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the channel number from which
the xture starts to “listen” to the digital control signal sent out from the DMX controller. The assignment
of this starting DMX address is achieved by setting the correct DMX address on the digital control
display on the xture.
You can set the same starting address for all xtures or a group of xtures, or set different addresses for
each individual xture. Setting all xtures to the same DMX address will cause all xtures to react in the
same way, in other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the xtures simultaneously.
If you set each xture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number
you have set, based on the quantity of DMX channels of each xture. That means changing the settings
of one channel will only affect the selected xture.
In the case of the Mega Hex Par, when in 12 channel mode, you should set the starting DMX address
of the rst unit to 1, the second unit to 13 (12 + 1), the third unit to 25 (13 + 12), and so on. (See the
chart below for more details.)
Channel Mode Unit 1 Address Unit 2 Address Unit 3 Address Unit 4 Address
6 Channels 1 7 13 19
7 Channels 1 8 15 23
8 Channels 1 9 17 25
11 Channels 1 12 23 34
12 Channels 1 13 25 37
