DMX operation
Setting the number of DMX channels and the DMX starting address
For operation with a controller with DMX512 protocol, the device is equipped with 310 control channels.
However, it can also be switched to a mode with 6, 17, 20, 21, or 298 channels if different functions are
required. To be able to operate the device with a DMX controller, the DMX starting address must be set. The
starting address depends upon which DMX controller is being used. Please refer to the controller's
documentation.
