A Beginners Guide to DMX Programming!

[@paulaking5672]

I'm a little overwhelmed and need to do this for our Easter drama. I will be teaching a special needs young man but have to learn 1st myself. I will watch it at least 10 more times! Lol.

As someone who’s running lights at my church and kinda got the hang of it, this video is PERFECT! Was struggling with making different lights do different things with the Scanner buttons, but you solved it right away!

[@valt1c134]

I’m bouta start lights at my church so confused😭

[@tomclark8802]

Thanks, you cleared up much for me!!!!!!! The board is kinda confusing initially, but you really helped!

[@momogunsabah]

I'm still confusing with addressing the dmx. i was connected moving head with par led and when I i move every slider, the color is not correct and sometimes interchange each others. i dont know to explain well. thanks

[@nickluckfield3490]

Thanks for the vid. Was helpful

[@emeraldking6994]

Thanks man you really helped me out

[@Ca_Ba]

Thank you for your video, it really helped me to understand the concept... I'm new on DMX stuff. Thank you

[@andrewgibson7560]

Hi, is it possible to create a fade between manual selecting scenes if a chase isnt set up?

[@drkingofokay]

What’s the background music from? Sounds so familiar.

[@Deer514]

How do u get address mode on those lights. I'm on channel 3 and I want it to be on channel 7

[@TPSOhio]

I got the same light but Dmx doesn’t work

[@DJBossCreations]

Just got two wash lights and I have two seven star spider lights waiting on my dmx to arrive then I'll be set

[@gilberto518]

Well explained. Thanks. Did u do the moving head video? Couldn't find it on your channel.

[@lawrencekitz6721]

Thanks, I learned the most from this video. Helps me understand the process.

[@busingejoseph2909]

Very nice

[@jbrondos]

When I set up the DMX address on the back of the mini PAR light, the "d" blinks rapidly next to the 3-digit address. And the PAR light doesn't respond to the control board. Why is it doing that? If I set the DMX address on the PAR light, do I need to do any of the other settings on the light -- or can I just take care of that on the board?

[@micr0d0t97]

I need help learning dmx controller for laser projector

[@FullFrontalInvestigations]

Very helpful! Thank you! Made it very easy to get started!

[@DaRealPinkKing]

How would I make a strobe rand or a strobe

[@DaRealPinkKing]

I got it. Wouldn't it be a scene with one on and one off and stuff

[@aa6zi]

Very easy to follow. Thanks, learned a lot from this video. New friend here.

[@kiru7seven7]

Hi, great video. Can you explain why d17 splits the 2 scanners instead of for example d2?

[@JeremyThompson]

Because each scanner is 16 channels/ sliders. That’s why its 1, 17, 33…. Etc. If you put it as d2 that is telling the board that sliders 2-16 will control that light on scanner 1

[@geraldpiscitelli]

@@JeremyThompson great answer as i had the same question i took over for a cover band and every light had a different number and no one in the band knew what the numbers meant the previous light guy had every light on 2 scanners and no saved scenes and he did the job for 5 years thanks to you i saved 160 scenes

[@Deer514]

I watched this video on how the dmx 512 works and I thought I had it figured out but I can only do red, green, and blue lights and I can't make the lights strobe or flash or anything. The first slider is supposed to be the brightness, but for me, it's the color red and the more I move it up the more brighter red gets.

[@miglol421]

I’m having the same issue

[@chrisirvin2216]

Thank you for this. I set up just as you demonstrated. In scanner 1, fader 1 is not controlling brightness. Instead it's bringing up Red, #2 is Green, and # 3 is Blue, As opposed to 2, 3, & 4 representing R G B respectively. Not sure what's going on. Thanks for your help

[@JeremyThompson]

Check the lights manual. Different lights have different channels for each effect. Thanks for watching.

[@kirkfranklinboy1986]

It sounds like you’re in 4 channel mode Like he said look at your manual and switch your lights channel mode to five

[@aarontorres5093]

easy and cool video but somehow my lights dont do a thing...i mean they do but not as you explained...tomorrow i am gonna check all the addresses and cables again...

[@djperryboy]

Got a milllion of questions but my first one is like. How do I set up the light itself to make it interact with the controller? Maybe that should be the very first to do? Also my displays are not flashing, they are just solid.Does it matter?

[@JeremyThompson]

Each light should be chained with DMX Cables/3-pin microphone cables. Then the light should be set up in d mode also known as dmx. The displays flashing on mine it is just the frame rate of the video camera I was using the displays should be solid with a flashing dot to show that it is connected to a dmx board.

[@djperryboy]

@@JeremyThompson Thanks for your answer. What is d-mode? Same as Addr?

[@drafthorsey1]

How about making it simple for people.

[@georgegriffith7263]

Everyone does two lights it doesn’t get interesting till you get passed 4 in addressing

[@jerryparker2597]

Is there anyway to talk to you on the phone?

[@SILLUJAAN10]

Thankz bro🥰

[@JackDanielsGrandIllusionist]

Great bud. Do you think the gig bars will work on this too?

[@eddieduque9371]
