Examples of this might be “bar light middle”, “lounge light 17”, “dance floor lighting right”, ”truss 12
light 15”.
Fixture Type
This identifies the type of DMX fixture that you are addressing. Currently only DMX_R8G8B8 is
supported. This represents a DMX light that takes an 8-bit red channel, 8-bit blue channel and 8-
bit green channel.
Serial Addresses
This is not affected by the amBIENT XC but is provided as another method for identification of
fixtures either created by the user or manufacturer specific. An example is Philips RGB fixtures
which have a serial number used for programming DMX.
DMX Address
This is the start address of your DMX fixture. Each address is equivalent to an 8-bit.
In the case of an R8G8B8 fixture...
address 1 represents the red channel of fixture 1
address 2 represents the green channel of fixture 1
address 3 represents the blue channel of fixture 1
address 4 represents the red channel of fixture 2
address 5 represents the green channel of fixture 2
address 6 represents the blue channel of fixture2
and so forth. Only the start address is required when
starting at address 1, the next 4, then 7, then 10.
Alternatively, multiple fixtures can share the same address if they are in the same location. This
increases the scalability of an amBX space to cover multiple regions or spaces of various sizes
above the available out-put of one DMX universe of 512 available channels which would otherwise
limit useable fixtures to 170.
