Configuration
(DMX)
To set the product in DMX mode for control with a DMX controller, do the following:
1. Make sure the product is plugged into a power source.
2. Connect the male end of a DMX cable to the DMX out socket of the DMX controller and
the female end of the same cable to the DMX in socket on the product.
3. Set the DMX starting address and personality by following the directions below.
DMX Starting
Address
When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels
needed for the selected DMX personality. Choosing a starting address that is too high can
restrict access to some of the product’s channels.
The Intimidator Scan/Barrel 305 IRC uses either 7 or 11
channels, depending on the
personality. The highest configurable DMX address in 7-channel mode is 506. The highest
configurable DMX address in 11-channel mode is 502.
