The stage lighting system is composed of various lighting fixtures, like moving head lights, led par lights, led bar lights, laser light, etc., and these stage lighting equipment are controlled by digital signals, using the internationally common DMX512 control protocol. Each lighting fixture must have its own code, and the lighting console issues instructions to identify each stage fixture through this code.
There are two types of encoders commonly used for lighting fixtures, digital and switch. Below let's talk about how to set the dmx address when these two lamps are actually used. 1. Digital encoder This kind of setting is relatively simple, generally turn to the address setting through the encoder menu. Use "+" "-" to change the number. After confirming, press "ENTER" to confirm. For example, a moving head light with 16 channels, the starting address code of the first light is 1, it is set to "001". The address code of the second light is 17, it is set to "017", and the address code of the third one is 33, it is set to "033".
2. Switching encoder In the past, many lighting fixtures used switch-type encoders, and some are still in use. The lighting controller must find the address code (Address N) to identify the fixture. The following formula can be used to calculate the switch address code. Address N=address(n-1)+channel(n+1). The address code of the previous fixture Address (N-1) plus the number of channels of the previous fixture is equal to the address code of the required fixture. But there is a condition, address n+channel N<=512.
3. The corresponding value of the lighting address code switch. Switching DIP: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. The corresponding DMX values are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 , 512. 4. How to dial the address code? When the switch is set to "ON", it means that this position is valid; in the "off" position, it is not valid. At the event production, we can also use a quick method to convert the corresponding address code, which is the maximum value addition method. For example, to dial the address code to "357", you can use 256+64+32+4+1=357. So, you can dial 1, 3, 6, 7, 9 to the "ON" position to get the desired DMX address code.
