8/12
Each NOVA must be given a DMX start address so that the correct projector responds to the correct
control signals. This DMX start address is the channel number from which the projector starts to
“listen” to the digital control information being sent out from the controller. The NOVA has 3 channels,
so set the No. 1 projector’s address 001, No. 2 projector’s address 004, No. 3 projector’s address
007, No. 4 projector’s address 010, and so on.
Certainly, you may use formulation: address=channels x (projector No –1) +1
For example, for the No. 4 projector’s start address, you should calculate according to formulation: 3
x (4 – 1) +1 = 19, So you set the No. 4 projector start address 019.
Connect the controller’s output to the first fixture’s input, and connect the first fixture’s output to the
second fixture’s input. The rest may be deduced by analogy. Eventually connect the last fixture’s
output to a DMX terminator as shown in the figure below.
In Controller mode, the red LED indicator blinking means the projector is receiving the DMX 512
signal normally.
