DMX Dip

Some fixtures, hazers especially, have no display. Their DMX address is set with a row of DIP switches, and each switch stands for a value: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 and 256. DMX Dip does that sum for you, in both directions.

Set an address

Type the address, or step to it with the minus and plus buttons. The switch block shows which switches go ON, and the line below shows how they add up.

To read a fixture you already have, tap the switches to match it. The address updates as you go.

Before you touch the real switches, find the ON mark on the block. Many blocks are mounted sideways. DMX Dip always draws ON as up.

Limits

Nine switches reach addresses 1 to 511, so 512 cannot be set on these fixtures. All switches off means address 0, which does not exist in DMX. Switch 10 is not part of the address. What it does depends on the fixture, so check the manual.

Your equipment list

Name the fixture and press Save. The list is sorted by address, shows the switches for each fixture, and follows your account to your other devices. Tap an entry to load it, then press Update to change it or Save as new to copy it.
