Solid Apollo’s DMX Addresser
Good news! Solid Apollo LED now offers an easy-to-use, lightweight and portable tool for controlling DMX fixtures such as Solid Apollo’s Slim Ray 9 RGB LED Spot Light 60W and the Eco RGB Flood LED Wall Washer 40W. It is called the DMX Addresser.
If you’re familiar with Solid Apollo’s RGB LED Flood Wall Washers, you probably notice that some of the RGB Flood Wall Washers have a 3-digit LED display built-in within the DMX fixture for DMX programming purposes. Well think of the DMX Addresser as the 3-digit LED display but pocket size, because that’s exactly what it is, it’s portable and better!
The DMX Addresser is a handy tool designed to conveniently set DMX addresses, program functions and daisy–chaining to multiple DMX fixtures!
This handy tool is great for projects that require a quick on-field set-up, just plug and play! It comes in at 5 inches in length and 2 inches wide. It features an ergonomic handle perfect for gripping, a DMX female XLR Cable for connecting to your DMX programmable fixture and comes with a pre-installed 9V lithium battery.
Just like its counter-part, the DMX Addresser has an embedded DMX512 protocol which features: 7 single color selections – colors as follows: Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Purple, Aquamarine and White. Various special lighting effect programs: Fade – the light will fade from one color to the next, Strobe -quick flashes of different color lights and Jump – similar to the strobe effect without the flashing (it just jumps to one color to the next rapidly). And lastly, 9 levels of brightness & 9 levels of speed adjustment.
But wait, there’s more! There are two unique features that I find very useful and possibly will make your life easier in the long run. The features are called the Continuous Address Program and Same Address Program.
DMX Addresser is the perfect tool for on-field installations.
Basically what it does is, the Continuous Address Program will allow you to set DMX addresses continuously throughout your DMX fixtures. For example, if you set your first DMX fixture to DMX address 001 the next DMX fixture’s DMX address will follow after 003 (multiples of 3 for each DMX fixture). So then it would be 004, the next DMX fixture 007, so on and so forth. Up to 512 channels is available!
The Continuous Address Program is great for situations where you want to quickly set DMX addresses for multiple DMX fixtures, instead of inputting each individual DMX addresses. You just have to keep track of the DMX Fixture and its DMX address when you separate them.
The second feature is the Same Address Program which allows you to set the same DMX address to all your DMX fixtures. For instance, if you have five DMX fixtures daisy-chained, the Same Address Program will set all their DMX address to be all the same. Let’s say, if it is set to 001 then all five DMX address would be at 001.
The Same Address Program is very useful in situations where you want to quickly run the same color or lighting effects to all your DMX fixtures. Just simply set all of them in the same DMX address.

Whether you are hosting an event, want to cheer on your favorite team or putting on a holiday themed party, the DMX Addresser will allow you to quickly transition from one setting to the next easily and conveniently. It’s the perfect companion tool!
