Operation
Menu buttons:
There are four buttons on the front of this unit: MENU, ENTER, UP and DOWN.
*Press MENU to choose your output mode, DMX address, color macro, user color as well as
PWM (pulse width modulation) mode. There are 4 PWM modes to choose from. PWM is the rate of
current pulses to the LEDs. This a󰀨ects how the lights appear to dim mostly visible on video. If you
are using cameras and notice pulse in dimming choose the mode that appears to work best with
your setup.
The DMX1800 can power up to (48) 30watt Spatial Flats, (24) 50watt Spatial Flats or (120)
LEDBoard12 LED Modules, all on a single 20 AMP circuit. The image below shows the DMX1800
used with various combinations of each light. Each of the 12 ports must not exceed 150 watts
(120w reccomended).
