DL.3 Digital Light User Manual 27

Menu Screen Descriptions

DMX Tab

The DMX Tab has sub-tabs for configuring the fixture for the DMX link, viewing the DMX settings

for the fixture on each channel of its range, and viewing all 512 channel values on the DMX link.

DMX_Control Screen

Use the Control sub-tab to configure your fixture

for a DMX link.

DMX Source defines the source of DMX data and

has two options:

• DMX512—Data is transmitted over standard

DMX cables.

• Art-Net—Data is transmitted over Ethernet

cables using the Art-Net protocol. Set the

number of DMX Universes (and Ethernet Sub-

networks containing this fixture from 0–16).

You can choose from three DMX Protocol types:

• Standard protocol requires 170 channels

and enables all fixture parameters for direct

DMX control.

• Dual protocol reduces the fixture footprint to

132 channels by implementing only two

graphic objects.

• Single protocol simplifies fixture control

to a single graphic object and uses 94

channels.

Scroll through the numbers 1-512 in the Start

Channel field to set a valid start channel for the

protocol you have chosen:

• Standard protocol = 1–343

• Dual Protocol = 1–381

• Single Protocol = 1–419

You can assign each fixture a unique Fixture ID number from 1-255. This allows the fixture

to be identified on the ethernet fixture link for tasks like synchronizing playback between

Digital Light fixtures and uploading custom content with the Content Management Application

(CMA). You can manually set this number in the menu or through the CMA, see

“DL.3 and DL.2

Media Server Configuration Options” on page 16-208. Setting up an Ethernet Fixture Link is

described in Chapter 2: Setup and Configuration.
