5.1 DMX Address Allocation [ADDR]
Sets the DMX512 address for Redback
dimmers.
Selecting this menu option displays the current
DMX address of the first dimmer:
D M X 1
If dimmer addresses have been allocated from
the Soft Patch [SOFTP] option of the Advanced
Menus the display reads:
P A T C H D
Allocating an address from this menu overrides
the addresses set from the Soft Patch menu.
Levels set by DMX512 control are combined on
a highest-takes-precedence basis with levels
from the internal scene memories, the internal
chaser and the optional MIDI interface.
In Basic operating mode, the dimmers are
automatically allocated sequential addresses
following the start address. (eg. If the start
address is set to 4, then dimmer 1 will be
allocated a DMX slot of 4, dimmer 2 will be
allocated a slot of 5, dimmer 3 will be allocated a
slot of 6, etc).
This menu provides two methods for allocating
the DMX address of the dimmers.
5.1.1 Direct DMX address
Direct DMX mode address allows the address of
the first Redback dimmer to be set to any slot in
the 512 slot DMX universe where all dimmers
can be allocated a valid address (Range 1-507
for 6 channel dimmers or 1-501 for 12 channel
dimmers).

5.1.2 Bank address

to the dimmers (see table). Selecting bank 1
allocates DMX addresses 1-6 or 1-12 to the
Redback, selecting bank 2 allocates DMX
addresses 7-12 or 13-24, etc. (Range 1-85 or 1-
42).
