Control Options (SpectraWhite™ Fixtures)

You can set the Ilumipod 42 IP Optic VW start address in the 001~512 DMX range. This
allows for the control of up to 85 fixtures in the 6-channel STd2 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 6 when in the STd2 personality.
