Set DMX Mode

The VL2000 Series luminaires provide four modes for DMX operation. The mode is

set using the luminaire’s Menu Display.

• 8-bit Standard - provides one 8-bit DMX channel for control of each luminaire

function.

• 8-bit Enhanced - provides additional channels for timing control.

• 16-bit Standard - provides 16-bit control for pan/tilt.

• 16-bit Enhanced (default) - provides 16-bit control for pan/tilt and additional

channels for timing control.

To set the mode:

Step 1. Press [Menu].

Step 2. Press [Up] or [Down] button until DMX appears. Press [Enter].

Step 3. Press [Up] or [Down] to until desired mode is reached (8, 16, E 8, or E

16). Press [Enter] to set mode.

See “DMX Modes” on page 28 for more information.

Note: Which mode is used may also be determined by the profile available in the

DMX control console. For best control, response, smoothest movement and

transitions, the 16-bit Enhanced mode is recommended. The 8-bit modes are supported

for older style consoles with a limited number of DMX channels available, and if

profiles are not supported. The 16-bit mode is supported for DMX consoles that do not

provide access to the timing channels through either their architecture or their profiles.

For more information see “Luminaire Timing Channel Information” on page 35.
