6.3 DMX Setup
Connect a compatible DMX512 device to the DMX output [4] using an XLR
cable. You can connect more devices in a daisy chain.
The controller uses 9 pages of 6 channels each, to control up to
54 channels. Typically, you connect up to 9 devices of (max.) 6 channels.
In this case, each page in the controller can control one device.
Make sure that you set the correct start address on each device (refer to the
table below).
Important! In the examples in this user manual, it is assumed that you use
the controller with 6-channel devices, and that each page corresponds with
one DMX device.
