15.4 setup
to control dmx you need a usb dmx interface connected to the OP-Z. It can be connected directly to the usb port.
connecting the dmx interface directly to you OP-Z is convenient but might deplete you battery faster than you want. in that case, use a powered hub.
  • refer to the usb chapter to learn which hubs and dmx interfaces that are compatible with OP-Z (sold separately).

  • for a complete guide on how to set everything up, please see this tutorial article with videos.

    dmx.json
    OP-Z can transform sequencer data to dmx channel data and send it out using a usb dmx interface. use the dmx.json file found in content mode to configure the outgoing channel data to correspond to your dmx fixture setup. 

    the maximum total number of channels that can be configured is 128.
