Understanding Light Addresses
E Tip
To
follow this Quick Start guide, do not change the default light addresses assigned to your fixtures.
iPlayer 3 streams data to the RGB lighting fixtures in your installation via the DMX512 protocol.
Each fixture in your installation has a light address. For light show designs with the same color displayed
simultaneously on all fixtures, changes to the factory default light addresses are not necessary. However, if
the light show design specifies different colors on different fixtures, then you must re-configure each fixture
with a unique light address.
Most non-Chromasic fixtures come pre-addressed to light address 1. Use the iPlayer 3 SAS (Serial
Addressing Software) tool to manually re-address your fixtures, as needed. iPlayer 3 SAS is available for
download here:

Chromasic
®
fixtures are addressed to light address 1 through light address n, the number of nodes per
fixture. If a starting address different from 1 is required, use the iPlayer 3 SAS tool to enter a base address
for the first node, and the remaining nodes will address automatically in sequential order.
