Ok, I just acquired a mess of new led fixtures (24-colorbatten 72 tours). These along with our existing leds, movers and scrollers will push my DMX channels beyond 512. This is new territory for me. It looks like I can patch in address using numbers larger than 512. Could I also patch using the syntax 2/150 (universe/address). It seems like just entering in a number would make the most sense. Is there a better or different way to do this!?
Thanks,
Pat
I typically will first assign a range of console channels numbers (keep the terms clear, console channel, DMX address, not DMX channel), so say 6 MAC700's, I'll put them on channels 301-306, then assign type, then use the syntax "Ch's, 301, thru, 306, @ 2/1".
By setting the type before the address, the console then knows how many DMX address are needed per fixture and assigns them all correctly.
If you need to add a MAC 700, or whatever, you add the channel and type and use "Ch, 307, @, 2, /, Next. The desk knows what to do.
