Hey, just want to say thanks for the vids! Our band has just ditched our old school incandescent par cans, and old school dimmers for a whole new LED DMX rig. (long time in coming). Your tutorials have me up and running very quickly with the basics! Thanks Ian Estey
Dude thank you very much I watched your videos two years ago and I was off to the races you made it very easy to understand how to program DMX. I will send you some of my videos from beginning to where I am now you will not believe it thank you again for this video your videos they were a huge help.
Great video series I programmed 5 fixtures now onto chases etc One thing that caught me out was dmx addressing although each fixture only (led par cans) used 3 channels add 16 each time you add additional fixture when using a 12 channel board Lamp 1-DMX Address 1 Lamp2- DMX Address 17 Double the DMX Number And so on hope this make sense it worked for me.
Thanks for the great video, mate! Do you have a video (or do you know a good tutorial) which covers how to create a liveshow from ableton? thanks anyway
HELP PLEASE.....just got a QTX DM-X10 which looks exactly the same as the one in this video and also 2 sets of KAM Power Bars but having massive difficulty in setting anything up.....any help would be appreciated. The Kam lights on this set do not have dip switches.
Hey friend,thankyou ,thankyou,thankyou,and then some,you have helped me beyond measure,watching your vids has brought it all back to me,had my dmx system nicked some years ago,so needed a bit of a refresher now I have rebuilt my light show,your tutorial is par excellence ,plain speak easy to understand thanks again,lol Skullduggery,
THANK YOU!!! I have 4 chauvet colosrtrip minis amd a X Laser caliente 300 and a chauvet obey 40 and just wondering if there is a way to just isolate the laser? I have been trying with no success
These videos have really helped me when all other forms of trying to understand DMX have failed. However, as I keep replaying this module, I cannot wrap my head around for programming button 1 as 13 (exceeding 12 fixtures), button 2 as 17, etc. How does the board know you are not wanting to reprogram 1 to a different light. Is there a page down button for the scanners side I'm missing?
this was a fantastic series of videos. I learned more watching these then reading every manual I had. I do have 1 issue. I have 5 fixtures connected... and the dmx terminator at the 5th fixture.. My problem is that all fixtures except the 5th are responding.. the last one with the terminator is not responding.. all 5 fixtures are the same model and type of par can.... do you have any advice about what the issue is and what i can do to fix it?
how do i program mini led spot light it has scanners and scenes on the board. i have two min spot lights do i put them both on scanner 1 or do i put them on separate scanners . i don't know how to make chases with it can you help me with it i just brought them. how do i make it work other than it just thrashing about aimlessly
HI THERE, is it possible to FADE UP SCENES? Say if I have set up a lot of different LED lights on quite a few channels and at the start of the gig I want to introduce somebody by just fading up all my lights on SCENE1 then after that fade out SCENE1. Thanx

HELP!!! LOL! Seriously, All I really need this my system to do is color washes. I have 2 - 4Bar fixtures and the Obey 10. The manuals suck! can you tell me in plain English what should my 4bars be addressed to? Why do the channel faders not work as you explained? fader 1 is all chases, 2 brightness, 3 flashing, 4-8 colors but only on one light of the four on the fixture.I need all 8 light to be the same color at the same time. any help? Thanks
Hi, one thing i dont understand, you say this is a 512 channel board, for 12 fixtures, 16 channels per fixture. 12x16 adds up to 192 channels. What am i missing? Thanks mate and great tutorials.
Hi Chris, this board can only address 192 channels out of the available 512 channels that the DMX system offers. Some boards only address 4 channels and some boards can address all 512. It is just that this board can address only 192 channels. HTH
in need of help!!! complete duffer when it comes to this. i have tried but failed on numerous occasions to programme the ligths using a chauvet obey 40 controller. all my lights have dip switches. the first light has 7 channels, the second14, then 6,then 14 then 7. they all have a number 10 dip switch which i know has to be 'on'. "help me Disco Dreams your my only hope"
yes it is possible to isolate the laser on its own you would have to make a chase up with just the laser in and then switch to that chase when you just want the laser on and switch back to your chases with everything else included when you want the other lighting on hit me up on face book or skype if you need any more in depth help Andi Crampton or skype drcrippen324
