Hello everyone!
We are renting a few ADJ Eco Bar UV lights for our production of A Christmas Carol to be able to do some fun effects.
I have used a Chauvet Geyser with our board before, and we are using that again in this show. The way I set that up is to output DMX signal from the “universe 2” 513-1024 output and send it to the fixture via a wireless DMX system. (The 1-512 port is taken up by our dimmer racks.) This setup worked fine with the geyser because I could address it higher than 512, thus the second universe DMX control worked fine.
The issue I’m having is with these UV bars we rented...they seem like they can only be addressed up to 512, which poses an issue, as 1-512 outputs to the dimmer racks.
As far as I know, we only have about 192 dimmers in use on the board, and they are all in the first universe. I have some open channels on the board that I can use as well. I’m just trying to figure out how to control the UV bars which can only be addressed up to 512, since I’d prefer to output from universe 2.
I noticed a page in the settings for “output configuration”...could I theoretically change the second output to output dimmer numbers in the first universe? I don’t know a lot about this so I wanted to ask before I messed anything up.
Also, does anyone know anything about how to address these UV bars? The menu is super confusing and the manual doesn’t help much.
Thanks for any advice you can offer!
