Editing error at 7:13 LOL Sorry, I'm sure there are more.

Good video for beginners but the reason it is 0-255 is actually really good! It gives you a lot finer control, and you can get a lot more out of one channel (ex. macros)
It’s also all based on binary control, so you get two states (0 and 1)^8 -1=255. Each channel is one byte of data in 8 bit configuration. That’s why if you have 16 bit pan/tilt you have 4 channels for pan/tilt.

Total beginner here, this was really great, thank you!

[djALLWAYS]

Been waiting for this for so long! Thank you homie, getting to work on my lighting rig for wedding season real quick. Keep grinding and stay safe 🙌🏽

[djmarc]

Barr, yes do a Dmx moving head video please

[kristopherking]

I want you to know, I've always have been a fan. Very quick with straight sensable logic. Your shows, your travel time, the best of everything! I'm the DJ who brought up mounting the SRX 815P on a tri-pod. You never mentioned the story. But I really think this video is special.

[aniefiokarchibong]

The easiest DMX video breakdown I have ever seen on this app. Thank so much. Please do a DMX programming for moving heads.

[StevieRayEntertainme]

@DJ Barr just an observation, 1-100 would not be as good as that would only allow 100 movement steps for something like a moving head, so you wouldn't be able to control the movement as precisely.

[callumgigliotti]

Psst. when you say that most fixtures have channel modes of 1-5 its worth pointing out that with professional movers (such as the ones on big arena concert stages that i work with) they can have modes with up to 30 channels.
Also, generally, you don't need strobe to be at full for the light to come on if the dimmer is full. However, Sometimes with cheaper or low-end fixtures or when a fixture is in a lower channel mode they have the channel 'split' in a similar way to what you talked about with the strobe on this hex but generally speaking putting strobe at full will make the fixture strobe (flash) very fast and leaving it off will leave control over brightness completely to the dimmer. This sort of thing completely depend on the fixture and mode.
Finally, if your wondering why there is an 'A' before the address on the lights instead of a 'D' it is short for address.

I just read over that and realized it probably made no sense, oh well

[matthewfallon]

Bro! The CLEAREST explanation and teaching of DMX Addressing I have come across! Thank you!!

[djjohnny]

Thanks Barr, great work as always... Yes please do a moving heads DMX tutorial we need that I need that.

[lancebeauchamp]

Can you please do a section on the adj dmx how to use the scenes in the program. I have 2 moving heads and adj up lights

[mattcowens]

Thanks brother - great introduction to dmx

[MattHunter-vmnt]

absolutely fantastic video! I've watched 7 or 8 other videos where they only explains the analog gear, thank you for taking the time to explain everything and how it interacts with software!

[DJDjayVarela]

Did you wrote Four Dummies.... 😂😂😂 funny love your videos

[jonkicker]

As a comment, there is a reason that it goes from 0-255 and it's not what you think. It has nothing to do with the creator of DMX but rather simple electronics. Electronics and computers tend to work off of a base with 256, but start at 0 rather than one which is why it is 0 to 255. You will see this with anyone who programs with a programming language for computers, writes assembly language, or builds things with say an Arduino or raspberry pie. Another example is RAM. ROM, and hard drive memory which is built off of this same numbering base. 256, 512, 1024, 2048 and so on. So please don't hammer the creators of DMX for something they had no control over. It is better to learn it and why; than to harp on it and except why it is they way it is.

[iSpike]

Well done 👍🏻 New subscriber here, Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺

[mattruglio]

Dj Barr can you also make a video on dmx on moving heads just got a pair and trying to figure them out thanks a lot!!

[dr.labbejl]

What happened to your DMXGo. I bought that because of a video you recommended . Do you prefer this one?

[antonio.x]

5:50 if the lamp has input -output DMX,
I can plug the Sony D-Light Sync Controller (DLS-1) to plug with Sony Genezy and so, the DMX Lamp, the software comes from the Sony and the Adapter.
I find the propepr lamp (00, )!
