Assigning a Fixture Address
The fixture’s address identifies each fixture’s channel range on the
DMX link. After you have selected a control method, you must assign a

You must assign a unique fixture address to each fixture that you want
to respond independently to controller commands. If you want two or
more fixtures to respond to controller commands in exactly the same
way, all fixtures must be the same type (for example two Technobeam
fixtures set to iris protocol) and must share the entire channel range.

Channel Range
There are 512 available channels on each DMX link. These 512
channels are divided among all the devices in a particular link. The
number of channels each fixture requires is called the fixture’s channel
range. The size of each fixture’s channel range is determined by the
fixture type (see “Fixture Types” on page 2-13).

range. The size of each fixture’s channel range is determined by the
fixture type (see “Fixture Types” on page 2-13).
Each Technobeam set to full, iris, or LCD protocol reserves a block of
18 contiguous channels. Each Technobeam set to reduced protocol
reserves a block of 14 contiguous channels. Therefore, you can control
up to 28 Technobeam fixtures set to full, iris, or LCD protocol (512
DMX channels available / 18 channels used = 28.4 fixtures per link) or
up to 32 Technobeam fixtures set to reduced protocol*.

*Note
Although there are enough available DMX channels to
link up to 36 Technobeam fixtures in reduced protocol,
you must use a DMX splitter to connect more than 32
fixtures per link. The 32 device limit complies with the
EIA-485 standard. Connecting more than 32 devices per
link up to 36 Technobeam fixtures in reduced protocol,
you must use a DMX splitter to connect more than 32
