DMX Operation
Channel Mapping
These tables assume a DMX start address of 1. When a different starting address is
used, this address becomes channel 1 function and other functions follow in sequence.
(There is only one DMX mode for this luminaire, which is Enhanced 16-bit Mode.)
* Dimmer refers to either an external dimmer for VL1000 T/TI models or an internal dimmer
for VL1000 A/AI models. Regardless, this channel must be included for both profiles.
** For VL1000T and VL1000A models, the BEAM channel will be unused if the Beam-Size
Iris assembly is not installed.
