Hello All,
Hoping there is a DMX helper out there. I have 6 Pixelstorm 240's I'm setting up for a cyc wash. The DMX is being sent over a pair of Show Baby 8s. My questions are these:
1) The manual says to power the units off of a switched circuit, not a dimmer or rheostat. I presume I need to plug these into a wall outlet? I don't have any non-dim dedicated circuits.
2) Do the LED Strips dim thru DMX addressing as opposed to power? Is that why the power should be constant?
3) For a the DMX address for each unit, if all I want is a wall wash, is it fine to address each unit the same so they all act in tandem, or am I over simplifying this?
4) There are several DMX Channel Modes available, I was going to just run the simple 3-Channel Mode for Red, Green, and Blue control. Again, I don't need any special effects, just the cyc wash colors.
I"m going to play with the other Modes when I have time, and not 5 days before opening!
Thanks for your help in advance!
