Control Options

You can set the COLORado™ 1-Tri IP start address in the 001~512 DMX range. This
allows for the control of up to 51 fixtures in the 10-channel TOUR personality. In
addition, the ID address system allows you to assign up to 66 fixtures within the same
DMX address, thus multiplying the number of fixtures you can control within a single
universe. You can access the fixture’s ID address system from channel 10 when in the
TOUR personality.

When programming live performances as well as cues that need to trigger on
demand or on a time line, program no more than 10 fixtures on ID addressing per
DMX channel. This is to remain within a one-second execution time.

Addressing

In this mode, each unit will respond to a unique starting address from the DMX
controller. All units with the same starting address will respond in unison.

2) Set the running mode:

a) Go to RUN.

b) Select DMX.

3) Set the starting address:

a) Go to DMX.

4) Deactivate ID Addressing on each fixture:

Make sure to deactivate ID Addressing in each fixture when using the TOUR
personality. Otherwise, unintended results may occur if channel 10 is not set to
“0”.
