DMX Termination: When ENABLED this turns on a 120Ohm resistor as per the DMX512A specification. Use this feature when the light is at the end of a DMX daisy chain to help the integrity of the DMX signal. The default setting for Termination is DISABLED.
DMX Hold Confg: Hold Last Look behavior. This is what the light will do when it loses the input signal or there is data loss to the input. The options are:
HOLD = Hold Last Look. The fixture will hold the last state received until the input signal is resumed.
Blackout = The light goes out when data is lost
2 Minute HOLD = Hold last look for 2 minutes then blackout
No Data 2700* = When data is lost the light will glow 2700K @1% DIM
No Data 6500* = When data is lost the light will glow 6500K @1% DIM
Note:DMX FAN control is found in Settings → Fixture Settings → Fan Settings
*The No Data options are useful if the lights are powered on without Data. You can use this as a visual cue to get the fixtures plugged into the network.
