When swapping an MH1, the DMX address must be set correctly in order for the light to respond correctly. This article will walk you through how we suggest setting the DMX address in case a Central Tech Team member is not available to help in person.
Look on the front screen of the MH1 to be swapped; verify the current DMX address and write it down.
If the light is already swapped:
Select the fixture in Jands Vista in the "Fixture Chooser" view and navigate to the "Patch" view and look for the highlighted fixture. The first number highlighted is the DMX address that we need to put on the fixture.
Once the fixture is swapped, navigate to the "DMX Functions" section of the menu.
If the screen is upside down, hit the menu button and use the arrow keys to scroll to "Display Settings".
Press the enter button to open the menu, scroll to "Invert Display", and press enter again. Scroll up or down until the screen has been oriented correctly. After, press the menu button until the main menu is showing once again.
Press the menu button on the front of the fixture, then press enter to select the "DMX Functions" option.
Select "DMX Functions" and set the address:
- Use the arrow keys to set the DMX address. Holding an arrow key speeds up the addressing process significantly.
Press "Enter" to lock in the DMX address.
Press the "Menu" button until the main screen come up.
