DMX Line Assignment
Before controlling fixtures with the LP-3000, you must first configure the system
with the correct number and type of fixtures. This configuration process will
determine the DMX assignments for moving lights and dimmers and allow you to
give names to the fixtures for easier reference during programming.
About DMX Line Assignments
DMX line assignment locates a fixture on a specific DMX line at a specific DMX
address.
A fixture assignment consists of a DMX line and a start address.
•
Up to four DMX lines can be driven from the LP-3000. The four DMX lines
are Line A, Line B, Line C and Line D.
•
Each DMX line has 512 channels, any one of which may be used as the
start address for a fixture.
Various fixtures require different numbers of channels. For example, the Martin 218
requires nine channels whereas the Cyberlight requires twenty channels. The
number of attributes that a fixture has determines the number of channels it
requires.
