"Next DMX Channel" on page 3-28
The notes in Table 3-1 show the various considerations in determining valid Start
Channels for fixtures on a 512 DMX link. A single 512-Channel DMX link can
accommodate up to thirteen 38-channel standard x.SpotXtreme fixtures.

When setting the Start channel on a fixture, remember:
•
A fixture's physical location on the link does not have to coincide with the order
of channel range assignments in the link. See Row 2 in Table 3-1.
•
The fixture's channel range must not overlap any other device's channel range on
the link. When two devices on the same DMX link have overlapping channel
ranges, one or both devices will be disabled or behave erratically. The single
exception would be if two or more fixtures need to respond to controller
commands in exactly the same way. In that case, those fixtures must be the same
type (for example two x.SpotXtreme fixtures) and must share the entire channel
range.

range
used
The Start channel is the number of
the first channel in a consecutive
1-38
block of channels assigned to an
individual fixture.
Fixture can be assigned the
second block of DMX channels
39-76
without physically being the second
fixture on the link.
To avoid overlapping channels,
place the start channel at the
77-114
beginning of a range of available
channels large enough to
accommodate that fixture type
Every channel in the link does not
need to be assigned.
The channel range required for a
fixture type can change with
custom fixtures
