E ColorBlast TRX fixtures come factory-addressed to starting DMX address 1.

E In 16-bit operation, two DMX channels are assigned to each LED channel, one for coarse control and one for fine control. The coarse channel allows values in multiples of 256, while the fine channel adds 256 additional values to each coarse channel value, resulting in a total of 65,536 individual steps or settings (256 x 256).
