DMX Operation
DMX Addressing
Prior to hanging any instruments, set the DMX address of each
Fixture.
Push the tabs above or below the number window to set the ad-
dress. (Valid addresses range from 001 to 512.)
The
ParaZip 200 operates on one DMX address to control/dim 2
lamps on one dimmer channel.
The
END OF LINE switch must be set to open ( O ) on Fixtures
within the DMX chain. Set to
END OF LINE when the Fixture is
the last DMX control device in the chain.
Note: When the last Fixture’s DMX Term is set to
END OF LINE,
it will absorb all energy in the DMX line, ensuring DMX signals are
transmitted correctly. If a signal is not terminated, it is called a
“Reflected Wave” and may create transmission errors by causing
valid DMX signals to be canceled.
Tip: DMX Channel 2 allows for a greater degree of control. The board operator can turn
two lamps off (1 f-stop drop in exposure) without shifting the color temperature.
The
DMX DIM CHANNELS feature allows user to select 2 or 4
lamp operation for DMX dimming control.
The
ParaZip 400 operates on one or two DMX addresses.
On
DMX Channel 1, one DMX address controls/dims all four
lamps on one dimmer channel.
On
DMX Channel 2, two DMX addresses are used:
The 1st address controls the
inner two lamps.
The 2nd address controls the
outer two lamps.
