About Addressing and
QuickPlay Pro
Addressing is the process of programming lighting fixtures with
DMX addresses so that a playback controller can properly route
light output data.
There are wide-ranging lighting system configurations, each with
a specific combination of fixtures and power/data supplies or
Data Enablers. This document contains step-by-step addressing,
configuration, and testing methods for a wide variety of Philips
Color Kinetics lighting system configurations.
Refer to your lighting system user documentation for physical
installation instructions. Installation Instructions, User Guides,

and Chromasic systems. ColorGraze Powercore fixtures, depending on their housing lengths, have 2 – 4 nodes.
Every node of a fixture is also factory set to DMX address 1.

Why Do You Address Lighting Systems?


Fixtures Using More Than Three Channels of Data
Your lighting system from Philips Color Kinetics comprises a controller, wiring, power/
data supplies, and fixtures. Addressing enables the devices in the lighting system to Certain fixtures use more than three channels of output data: five-channel or six-channel

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.

and channel 6 will not illuminate any LEDs. This pattern continues for every node.

About Pixel Resolution


eW Accent Powercore fixtures are factory-set to a pixel resolution of 1, or 10 pixels per foot. To
achieve consistent pixel sizing across fixtures, use a pixel resolution that divides evenly into the
fixture length:

Pixel Resolution Pixels per fixture


Node Size
Setting 610 mm (2 ft) fixture 1219 mm (4 ft) fixture
30 mm (1.2 in) 1 20 40
61 mm (2.4 in) 2 10 20
122 mm (4.8 in) 4 5 10
152 mm (6.0 in) 5 4 8
244 mm (9.6 in) 8 5
305 mm (12.0 in) 10 2 4
610 mm (24.0 in) 20 1 2
1219 mm (48.0 in) 40 1

To simplify addressing, eW Accent Powercore uses base light numbers. You specify base light
number using QuickPlay Pro, and then the fixture configures itself with sequential light numbers,
according to pixel resolution. For example, if you set a base light number of 21 on a 610 mm (2 ft)
fixture, and a pixel resolution of 1, then the fixture will address itself to light numbers 21 – 40.

third-party website), under the Color Kinetics tab: www.citytheatrical.com/.
Addressing Technology Chromacore

Nodes per Fixture 1

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.

Addressing iW Blast TR Fixtures to Light Number 1


1. Power On the PDS-750 TR and select Pass Thru mode by turning all three DMX switches to 0
(the “Status” light displays orange when the device is in Pass Thru mode).
2. Connect up to 12 iW Blast TR fixtures to the PDS-750 TR.
3. Press the Mini-Zapi switch on the front of the PDS-750 TR. The fixtures will momentarily
display red and then flicker.
4. When the flickering stops, power Off the PDS-750 TR.
5. Power back On the PDS-750 TR to resume operation.

Addressing the PDS-750 TR with a Base DMX Address


1. Power On the PDS-750 TR.
2. Connect up to 12 iW Blast TR fixtures to ports 1 – 12 (all fixtures must be addressed to light
number 1).
3. Connect the PDS-750 TR to a DMX source via the DMX Input.
4. Set the base DMX address of the PDS-750 TR using the DMX switches:
a. From left to right, the switches control the 100s, 10s, and 1s DMX values. For example,
to set a DMX base address of 125, turn the first switch to 1, the second switch to 2, and
the third switch to 5.
b. When you have set a base DMX address, the Status light should display green, indicating
that the PDS-750 TR is in CB (ColorBlast playback) mode.
5. Test your configuration by sending light output data from the DMX controller.

Configuring Power/Data Supplies
Using Onboard Controls
The sPDS-480ca and sPDS-60ca power/data supplies have
onboard controls used for IP address setup, testing, and device
configuration (for example, to configure device fan speed and
thermal protection settings).
This section details how to use sPDS-480ca and sPDS-60ca
onboard controls. For additional information about the installation
of your complete lighting system, refer to the installation

sPDS-60ca 24V Note that when connected to an sPDS-60ca, the fixtures are not permanently programmed
with light numbers. Instead, the sPDS-60ca uses its base light number to automatically route
the data intended for each fixture. Therefore, you can swap the fixtures attached to an sPDS-
60ca and any newly attached fixtures will display the correct data.

To set a sPDS-60ca Base Address:


The base address is the DMX address for the first fixture or node connected to output port 1

DMX Configuration Overview


When working in DMX environments, use the sPDS-60ca onboard controls to perform fixture
addressing. An external software tool such as QuickPlay Pro is not necessary.
To configure an sPDS-60ca for use in a DMX network, you set a base light number (1 – 170)
and select configuration mode. The power/data supply then automatically discovers all
connected fixtures, determines the node quantity of each fixture, and configures itself to route
data from the controller data stream to each attached fixture.

A CKDMX to ESTA DMX crossover cable is required when using non-CKDMX
controllers with RJ-45 DMX output ports in conjunction with fixtures and power/data
supplies from Philips Color Kinetics. The crossover cable installs inline between the
controller and the first power/data supply in the DMX lighting installation.

Appendix D: 16-bit DMX Channel Mapping
Certain fixtures from Philips Color Kinetics can be programmed for 16-bit control.
16-bit programming utilizes two DMX channels per LED channel: two DMX channels for
red, two DMX channels for green, and two DMX channels for blue.
The first DMX channel assigned to an LED channel corresponds to the “coarse” data
for that LED channel. The second DMX channel corresponds to the “fine” data for that
LED channel.
Utilizing both coarse and fine DMX channels for each LED channel increases resolution
from 256 dimming steps per LED channel to 65536 dimming steps per LED channel.
Note that fixtures programmed for 16-bit output use double the quantity of DMX
channels compared to fixtures configured for 8-bit output. Only select the 16-bit
programming option if you are using a 16-bit compatible controller.

Example: RGB 16-bit DMX Channel Mapping


DMX address LED Channel

n+1 Red Fine
n+2 Green Coarse
n+3 Green Fine

1. Connect to your lighting network and power on the fixtures you wish to address.
2. Launch QuickPlay Pro.
3. Select the controller your fixtures are connected to from the Controller list.
4. Select the Fixture Configuration button in QuickPlay Pro.
5. If known, type the serial number of the fixture you want to address. When a valid serial
number has been entered, a green dot appears to the right of the Serial Number field.
If the serial number is not known, you can locate all fixture serial numbers using the
Discover feature:
a. Click the Discover tab.
b. Use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys on your keyboard to select the serial number
of the fixture you want to address. As you advance through each serial number, the
selected fixture illuminates. All other fixtures remain off.
Once the serial number is correctly entered, the Configuration area becomes active.
Select the Resolution tab to set fixture resolution.
c. Select 8-bit or 16-bit from the New Resolution list. Keep in mind that 16-bit resolution
requires twice as many channels as 8-bit resolution.
d. Click Program to set the fixture to the selected resolution. The fixture illuminates to
confirm it has been configured.
6. Click the ColorReach Powercore tab to access configuration settings. After making the desired
