CHAPTER 3 SHOWPIX® Menu System Channels Needed This option displays the number of channels on a DMX link required by the protocol assigned to this fixture (SHOWPIX Standard Protocol requires 70 channels). Next DMX Channel Use this option to view the next available DMX Start channel on the link following this fixture and is based on the fixture’s specific configuration. The value displayed uses the formula (Current start channel + channels required for the protocol used). 30 SHOWPIX® Pixelation Luminaire User Manual
Chapter 4 DMX Programming Basics and Quick Start If you are new to DMX programing, this chapter will give you a brief overview on programming SHOWPIX® and StudioPix fixtures followed by a example using a Wholehog console to patch and display output. DMX Programming Overview DMX512 Links A lighting console typically utilizes a protocol called DMX512 to communicate with automated lighting fixtures and conventional dimmers. This protocol consists of 512 unique channels of control per output link (universe). Typically a lighting fixture or device will use a channel for each parameter’s function. Each channel consists of 256 values ranging from 0 to 255. The lighting console is programmed to transmit a corresponding DMX value for the desired function of each parameter. All DMX values are stored within in the lighting console, and typically are referred to as cues, scenes, or presets. A lighting console locates a device on the link by it’s DMX Start Channel. 8-bit vs. 16-bit DMX Parameters Most parameters of an automated light use one channel of DMX providing 256 values of control (0-255). This is known as 8-bit DMX. Although most parameters use 8-bit DMX, several require a more accurate range of values than can be provided with a single DMX channel. By utilizing two DMX channels for a single parameter, 65535 values become available for controlling and adjusting parameter functions. This is known as 16-bit DMX. You can adjust 16-bit DMX values in both coarse and fine increments. The first channel of the pair provides coarse control changes of the DMX value in increments of 256. The second channel provides fine control and changes of the DMX value in increments of 1. Individual access of the two DMX channels used with 16-bit parameters varies by lighting console. Most modern DMX consoles bind these two channels into a single 16-bit parameter to accurately perform 16-bit crossfades. Consult your lighting console manual for further information.
