How-to Enabling Onboard DMX out
Click the “Enable routing…” checkbox to enable output of DMX through the FB4.
The “Base address” defines the positions of the 1
st
channel in BEYOND’s output DMX array.
“Number of channels” defines how many DMX channel values are passed through to the
serial port, so in the example above we choose base address 1 with 4 channels to send, so
BEYOND will send to the channels 1, 2, 3 and 4 through the FB4.
How to calculate the “base address”
To convert 4 DMX universes to a Base address, a simple calculation can be done.
Calculate 512 addresses for each universe.
The base address for universe 1, DMX address 1 is 1
The base address for universe 2, DMX address 1, is 513
The base address for universe 3, DMX address 1, is 1025
The base address for universe 4, DMX address 1, is 1537
The base address for universe 2, DMX address 128, is 640
(512 + 128 = 640)
