Setting up for DMX control
DMX controllers send control data to devices over DMX control channels in DMX universes. One DMX
universe has 512 channels available. Multiple Dots can share the same DMX channels if you want
grouped control and identical Dot behavior.
The Exterior Dot-HP Pro system can be controlled using a DMX-over-Ethernet connection such as Art-
Net or sACN.
DMX control in the Exterior Dot-HP Pro offers 0 - 100% variable intensity RGB or RGBW control, Color
Temperature Control variable from 1800 K to 12850 K a virtual color wheel with 49 Lee-referenced
color presets, a pixel mapping mode that lets you control 16 individual pixels per Dot, and a range of
pre-programmed dynamic FX that run on complete Dots or on individual pixels.
Setting DMX mode
The Exterior Dot-HP Pro can be set to any of the following five DMX modes (see “DMX protocols” on
page 23):
• In Standard Mode, each Dot is controlled as one unit and uses six DMX channels.
• In Extended Mode, each Dot is controlled as one unit and uses twelve DMX channels. Extended Mode
gives access to the range of dynamic FX.
• In Direct Mode, each Dot is controlled as one unit and uses four DMX channels for RGBW control.
• In RGB Mode, each Dot is controlled as one unit and uses three DMX channels for RGB control.
• In Pixelmap Mode, you can control the 16 pixels in each Dot individually with RGB control using 48
DMX channels.
Different modes can be mixed in an installation. For example, some Exterior Dot-HP Pro Dots can be
set to Standard Mode and others to Pixelmap Mode. Allocating DMX addresses and DMX channels in
a mixed installation will require some planning.
Because DMX mode affects the number of DMX channels a Dot uses, it will affect the assignment of
DMX addresses to Dots. It is therefore a good idea to set the DMX mode of all the Dots in the
installation before you set their DMX addresses.
The DMX_PERSONALITY PID lets you set the DMX mode of a Dot via RDM.
Setting DMX addresses
To prepare an installation for DMX control, you need to set it up so that Dots receive instructions from
the controller on their own DMX channels.
A Dot’s DMX address is the first DMX channel it uses to receive control data. It uses this channel and
the channels immediately above it. If a Dot has DMX address 001 and the Dot uses four DMX
channels, it will use channels 001, 002, 003 and 004. DMX address 005 will be available as a DMX
address for the next Dot on the data link. If this Dot also uses four DMX channels, the next available
DMX address will be 009, and so on.
You can set the DMX address of one Dot by sending a unicast RDM command to that one Dot only, or
you can set all the Dots on the data link to the same DMX address by sending a broadcast RDM
command to all the Dots on the link. If all the Dots have the same DMX address, they will behave
identically and you will not be able to control any single Dot independently.
For instructions on setting DMX addresses using Martin companion, see ‘Setting DMX addresses’ on
page 16.
