Universe: Each DMX universe holds 512
channels or addresses.
When using wired DMX 512 the Universe
number in the DS ADDR menu is read-
only and corresponds to the last byte of the
full DMX universe (512). This value must
be bound to the universe number in the
transmitter (for example, using a macro or
a script). This can be used to visually identify
the correct DMX daisy-chain.
When using wireless Art-Net the universe
can be changed from the PSU with a turn of
the knob. When the knob is pushed down on
the universe variable, the Net, Subnet and
Universe variables can all be modified.
Channel: This selector is for changing the
DMX address of a light module. The basic
principles are the same as with the DS mode
turned on, although with a few exceptions:
• When the DS mode is turned off, the
default channel for a module will be 1 in-
stead of 0, and channels go from 1 to 512.
• Using the jog-wheel will result in the
movement of numbers in intervals
dependant on the amount of channels
your selected DMX profile uses.
As of firmware 2.67.5 addressing a lighthead
manually by a single digit is not available for
DS1. This can be achieved remotely using RDM
instead. This is an oversight and will be fixed in
the next software release.
DMX channels 511 and 512 are used for
the purposes of Port-Address (Universe)
identification, and are ignored if used for
the purposes of channel control. The last
available DMX channel for addressing is
510.
