General Information about DMX512-record
The DMX 512-record is divided in 512 addresses. You have 512 addresses for your disposal. To be able to connect
different appliances with a DMX-controller, it is necessary to determine the number of DMX-channel for every appliance.
The occupation of channels of a projector could be like that for example:
Channel 1 X-Movement
Channel 2 Y-Movement
Channel 3 Cyan
Channel 4 Magenta
Channel 5 Yellow
Channel 6 Dimmer
In order that not every connected DMX-appliance performs same functions, the appliances are addressed in series; i.e.
for the first appliance the first six addresses are used (be right for an appliance with six channels), for the second one
(appliance with 6 channels) the next 6 addresses of all the DMX-addresses are used (see for example VARYCOLOR 6
MSR 575/2 page 9).
