DMX Control 13
Terminate DMX
Use a DMX terminator or install a resistor on the last fixture of the DMXcontrol run to prevent
corruption (data reflection) of the digital control signal by electrical noise.
A DMXterminator is an XLR plug with a 120 Ω resistor connected between pins 2 and 3 that can
be installed into the DMX output receptacle of the last fixture in the DMX control run. This plug
is available and sold separately. Contact your local High End dealer for ordering information
(visit highend.com/about/contact-us to locate a High End dealer).
Set the DMX Start Address
Give each fixture a unique DMX starting address so that the correct fixture responds to the
control signals. This DMX start address is the channel number from which the fixture starts to
“listen” to the digital control information sent out from the control source.
Example: The SolaPix 37 requires up to 186 channels of control depending on the
configuration of the modules. The Base module uses 21 channels. When the Flex
module is set to Compound mode, an additional 17 channels are added. If the Pixel
module is also set to Compound mode, then an additional 148 channels are added,
making 186 channels total.
If you are using the Base and Pixel modules (the Pixel module is set to Compound mode
and the Flex module is disabled) the total channel usage is 169 channels.
