ILUMINARC Ilumipod™ 42 IP - Manual (Page 16)

Operation
12 Ilumipod 42 IP Optic Series User Manual Rev. 6
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.
If ID Addressing
is active in a
fixture’s control
panel, unintended results
may occur if DMX channel
6’s value is higher than
“0” when in STd2. Make
sure to disable ID
addressing and to set
DMX channel 6 to “0” if
using STd2.
The master
fixture
becomes
Master when in STAT
mode.

Control Options (SpectraWhite™ Fixtures)
You can set the Ilumipod 42 IP Optic VW start address in the 001~512 DMX range. This
allows for the control of up to 85 fixtures in the 6-channel STd2 personality. In addition, the ID
address system allows you to assign up to 66 fixtures within the same 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 6 when in the STd2 personality.
