Personalities

Address

The COLORband PiX™ Mini has six DMX personalities, from a 3-channel mode for basic

control to an 18-channel mode with more advanced control over the lights.

The COLORband PiX™ Mini uses up to 18 DMX channels in its 18-

channel DMX mode,

which defines the highest configurable address to 495.

When selecting a starti

ng DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels

the selected DMX mode uses. If you choose a starting address that is too high, you could

restrict the access to some of the product’s channels.
