Control Options

You can set the COLORdash™ Par-Tri start address in the 001~512 DMX range. This

allows for the control of up to 56 fixtures in the 9-channel STAGE 1

personality. In

addition, the ID address system allows you to assign up to 66 fixtures for each starting

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 9

when in the

STAGE 1 DMX 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.

Programming

Carry out all the programming procedures indicated below from the control panel. Refer

to the Menu Map on page 11 to learn how the menu options relate to each other.

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 at unison.

1) Select the STAGE 1 personality as shown in DMX Personality.

2) Set the running mode:

a) Go to RUN.

Make sure to deactivate ID Addressing in each fixture when using the STAGE 1

personality. Otherwise, unintended results may occur if

channel 9 is not set to

“0”.
