Par 56 light curtains

[Ben]

Hi all

im in the middle of a project and I cant seem to find out how many DMX channels my light curtains are going to need.

 

the 3 types of light curtains I need to use are:

3 x Par 56 Light Curtain DHA + scrollers

3 x Par 56 Light Curtain LC9Plus + scrollers

3 x Par 56 Light Curtain Pitching

 

the 3 of each type are daisy chained together.

 

can anyone help me out??? I have tried searching the net but cant seem to find anywhere that will tell me how many DMX channels are required for each one.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Ben

Ben,

 

Not sure about the LC9Plus model, but the answer to the other two is documented here: DHA Manuals

(The short answer seems to be 2n + 1 for the ordinary DLC and 3n+1 for the pitching variant, n is the number of curtains. Watch out for the way the LightTalk converter maps channels, though!)

 

HTH
