Light Numbers
Light numbers simplify the addressing process by associating three DMX channels with a
single value. For example, light number 1 corresponds to DMX channels 1, 2, and 3; light
number 2 specifies DMX channels 4, 5, and 6; and so on.
Note: Light numbers only apply to lighting networks exclusively comprising three-
channel fixtures. See Appendix A for a table that shows how light numbers map to
DMX addresses.
• Half Fixture mode treats each segment of the fixture as a sequentially addressable
segment, displaying different output on each.

Addressing Technology Chromacore
Overview
PDS-750 TR power/data supplies have onboard addressing controls—an external software tool such
as QuickPlay Pro is not necessary to configure fixtures connected to
a PDS-750 TR.
Each PDS-750 TR supports up to 12 iW Blast TR fixtures. Using a base DMX address, the PDS-750
TR sequentially routes DMX data to each connected fixture. For example, if “AAA” equals the base
DMX address configured on the PDS-750 TR, connected fixtures receive DMX data as follows:
• Fixture #1 receives data intended for DMX addresses: AAA, AAA + 1, AAA + 2
• Fixture #2 receives data intended for DMX addresses: AAA + 3, AAA + 4, AAA + 5
• Fixture #3 receives data intended for DMX addresses: AAA + 6, AAA + 7, AAA + 8
To function in conjunction with a PDS-750 TR, all connected ColorBlast TR fixtures must be
addressed to light number 1.
