DMX Addressing
The board controls lights with specic DMX ad-
dresses and the lights must be addressed correctly
for the board to control them. More than one light
can have the same DMX address, but lights with
the same DMX address should be the same type of
light. Below is a chart showing the DMX addresses
ranges with their corresponding xture buttons.
DMX Addressing Chart
Aer the products are addressed, the board con-
trols them with the <FIXTURES> buttons. For
example:
• Any product or products addressed at 49 are
controlled with <FIXTURES 4>.
• Any product or products addressed at 145 are
controlled with <FIXTURES 10>.
Faders and Pages
This xture has 8 channel faders on 2 fader pages
for a total of 16 channels. Faders control dierent
DMX addresses depending on which page is active
and which xture button is pressed. Pages are a
method for controlling 16 channels with only 8
channel faders. Toggling between pages toggles be-
tween two DMX addresses for the fader. When Page
A is active, the faders are numbered 1–8. When
Page B is active, the faders are numbered 9–16.
The <Page Select> button toggles between active
pages. The Page A and Page B LEDs indicate which
page is active. When Page A is active, the channel
faders control the rst 8 DMX addresses of the
selected light. When Page B is active, the channel
faders control the second 8 DMX addresses of the
selected light.
Fader DMX Addresses
The default fader DMX addresses are determined by
the combination of <FIXTURES> buttons and Page
A or Page B. For example:
• When <FIXTURES 1> is selected, the default
DMX addresses of the channel faders are 1–16.
DMX 1–8 when PageAis active and DMX 9–16
when Page B is active.
• When <FIXTURES 7> is selected, the default
DMX addresses of the channel faders are
97–112. DMX 97–104 when PageAis active and
DMX 105–112 when Page B is active.
When 2 xture buttons are selected each fader has
2 dierent default DMX addresses. For example:
• When <FIXTURES 1> and <FIXTURES 7> are
selected, channel fader 1 has DMX addresses of
both 1 and 97.
Fader Customizations
Fader customizations are very powerful tools, but
are not required. This xture can control a substan-
tial lighting rig without any fader customization.
Fader customization is one of two things:
• Fader assignment which changes the default
DMX address of a channel fader.
• Fader reversal which reverses the fader output.
Fader assignment changes the DMX address of
a fader within a xture button, so that 2 lights,
assigned to dierent xture buttons and with dier-
ent DMX channel congurations can be controlled

from a single channel fader. See Creating A Fader
for more information.
Fader reversal changes the order of the DMX values
sent out as the channel fader moves. In normal
mode a channel fader sends out a higher DMX
value as it moves upward, sending out the value 0
at the bottom and 255 at the top. When a fader is
reversed, it sends out the value 255 at the bottom
and 0 at the top. See Creating A Fader Reversal for
more information. The fader LEDs indicate when a
fader has been customized or reversed.
Physical Fader Assignment
(optional setup)
Use this feature to combine or unify xture control
attributes for dierent xtures. For example; if you
were controlling 4 moving mirrors and 4 moving
yokes, the color, gobo and dimmer channels may
not line up ideally on the physical faders. Use this
function to re-assign the dimmer, color and gobo
channels to faders 1, 2 and 3. From now on you will
be able to control the same attributes on all x-
tures using the same fader location.
1) Press and hold PROGRAM & TAPSYNC buttons
together (1) time to access the channel assignment
mode.
2) Press a FIXTURE button that represents the x-
ture whose faders you would like to re-assign.
3) Move the SPEED fader until you arrive at control-
ler channel (number).
4) Move the FADE TIME fader to select the DMX
channel.
5) Press the MIDI/ADD button to conrm setting.
6) Repeat steps 3 ~ 5 as oen as necessary. If you
wish to copy a xture ’s physical assignments to
another xture , continue by following steps 7-13.
If you do not wish to do this, press and hold PRO-
GRAM & TAPSYNC buttons (2) times to exit mode.
Example: Copying FIXTURE 1 into FIXTURE 2

Dirección DMX
A n de poder controlar unidades de luces, Navi-
gator 2 utiliza direcciones DMX. Cada unidad debe
contar con su dirección DMX especíca y estas
direcciones deben asignarse correctamente para
garantizar que Navigator 2 pueda controlarlas. Si el
usuario lo desea, puede asignar la misma dirección
a varias unidades (solo si son luces del mismo tipo).
El cuadro a continuación muestra los rangos de
direcciones DMX con las teclas correspondientes en
el controlador.
Cuadro de asignación de
direcciones DMX
Una vez asignadas las direcciones DMX, podrá con-
trolar las unidades con las teclas <FIXTURES>.
• Cualquier unidad con dirección DMX 49, se con-
trolará con la tecla <FIXTURES 4>.
• Cualquier unidad con dirección DMX 145, se
controlará con la tecla <FIXTURES 10>.
Faders y páginas
El equipo cuenta con 8 faders de canal con 2 pági-
nas (pages) por fader para un total de 16 canales.
Los faders controlan diferentes direcciones DMX en
función de la tecla Fixture presionada o de la pági-
na en la que se encuentre.
Las páginas se utilizan para controlar los 16 canales
con tan solo 8 faders. Al alternar la página, se con-
muta entre las dos direcciones DMX para el fader.
Cuando está activa la Página A (Page A), los faders
quedan numerados 1-8. Por otro lado, cuando
está activa la Página B (Page B), los faders quedan
numerados 9-16.
Con la tecla <Page Select> podrá alternar entra
las páginas activas. Los LEDs de Page A y Page B
indican la página actualmente activa. Cuando está
activa la Página A, los faders controlan las primeras
8 direcciones DMX de la luz seleccionada. Cuando
está activa la Página B, los faders controlan las últi-
mas 8 direcciones DMX de la luz seleccionada.
Direcciones DMX de los faders
Las direcciones DMX predeterminadas se congu-
ran con la combinación de las teclas <FIXTURES> y
Page A o Page B. Por ejemplo:
• Si selecciona la tecla <FIXTURE 1>, las dire-
cciones DMX predeterminadas de los faders
son 1-16. Es decir, DMX 1-8 cuando está activa
la tecla Page A y DMX 9-16 cuando está activa la
tecla Page B.
• Si selecciona la tecla <FIXTURE 7>, las dire-
cciones DMX predeterminadas de los faders son
97-112. Es decir, DMX 97-104 cuando está activa
la tecla Page A y DMX 105-112 cuando está acti-
va la tecla Page B.
En caso de seleccionar dos teclas Fixture, cada
fader contará con dos direcciones DMX predetermi-
nadas. Por ejemplo:
• Si selecciona las teclas <FIXTURE 1> y <FIXTURE
7>, el fader 1 tendrá las direcciones DMX 1 y 97
a la vez.
Personalización de los faders
Esta herramienta es sumamente útil, pero no nece-
sariamente de uso obligatorio. Navigator 2 puede
