DMX512 ADDRESSING  
WHEN ADDRESSING YOUR FIXTURES FOLLOW THE STARTING  
ADDRESS IN THIS BOOK NOT THE ADDRESSING FOUND IN YOUR  
FIXTURE MANUAL  
DMX 512 is a type of protocol that sends out up to 512 multiplex  
channels at once down a common cable. Each channels has a value  
from 0 to 255. You set the address for each receiver(fixture) by using  
Dip switches or some type of digital readout  
to completely change from one scene to another.  
For example; if the fade time slider is set to 0 (zero) a scene change will  
be instant. If the slider is set to ‘30s’ it will take the DMX Operator 30 sec-  
onds to complete the change from one scene to the next.  
13. SPEED SLIDER - Used to adjust the rate of chase speed in Auto  
Mode.  
Each Dip switch has an ADDRESS based on binary code.
