2.4.2 Individual assignment of DMX-Start-Addresses:
Before you begin, you must set the DMX start addresses of the headlights. It is possible to control up to 24
spotlights each with up to 26 channels "ShowCotrol".
For the start address setting, you can use the default values of the console (see Table 2.4-2) or assign the start
addresses individually.
The "SHOWControl" assigns its DMX start addresses in 26 steps. This means that the devices must be set to the
corresponding start address so that the channel assignment of the faders is exactly correct. Devices which get the
same start address, of course, work synchronously (example: device 1 and 2 are both set to start address 1).
