DMX Addresses for Fixtures Power Patch DMX is Digital Multiplex (DMX 512a) and is the protocol for speaking to dimmers and intelligent lights. Each fixture must be addressed accordingly. The First Universe is the first 512 channels of DMX. We have two Universes available.

Programming Tip and Terminology 1. MIB: Move in Black. Fixtures will move to the next recorded position when the intensity is a 0%. 2. Tracking: Unchanged data is transferred to the next cue and all subsequent cues until it is changed. 3. Block Cue: All DMX values are set to 0, blocking any tracking of data. 4. Mark Cue: While in a cue, set all intensities to 0 and record again with a new #. Lights will not move until they are dark and the audiences won’t see the movement. 5. Color Picker: Shift/Tools. Allows you to select a custom color when using CMY mixing.
