DMXadresser
DMXadresser refer to the starting channel numbers assigned to devices on a DMX512 lighting system. In DMX512, a universe contains 512 sequential channels, and each device consumes a contiguous block of channels. The address is the first channel used by the device. For example, a fixture that needs 3 channels and starts at 10 will listen on channels 10, 11, and 12. Proper addressing is essential to avoid channel overlap and unpredictable output.
Setting and managing addresses can be done on the device itself, using DIP switches, a digital display,
Universes and topology: A DMX system may use multiple universes, each with its own 512 channels. A
Physical layer and best practices: DMX512 uses RS-485 signaling with 5-pin XLR connectors (3-pin variants are
