DMX OPERATION
When controlling RGB 3in1 LED lighting, the lighting must be set to DMX mode and
must include a separate dimmer control for each color (RED, GREEN, BLUE).
When controlling RGBA/RGBW Quad LED lighting, the lighting must be set to DMX
mode and must include a separate dimmer control for each color (RED, GREEN,
BLUE, AMBER, and/or RED, GREEN, BLUE, WHITE).
The total number of DMX channels will depend on how many individual pixels the
LED lighting has.
EXAMPLE 1
If an RGB 3in1 LED light fixture has (6) pixels, it must be set to 18 DMX Channel Mode
and the DMX protocol be set to the following:
EXAMPLE 2
If an RGBA/RGBW 4in1 LED light fixture has 6 pixels, it must be set to 24 DMX Channel
Mode and the DMX protocol be set to the following:
DMX ADDRESSING
The DMX address of the first LED lighting device connected to EZ KLING™ must be set
to 1 and the DMX addresses of additional LED lighting devices will depend on how
many DMX channels each device occupies. For example, if the LED lighting devices
all occupy 20 DMX channels each, the first device would be addressed as 1, the
second device as 21, the third device as 41, and so on.

When connecting to a computer to control LED Lighting, the LED type of LED
lighting controlled by the same EZ KLING™ unit must be the same.
DO NOT directly daisy chain more than (32)EZ KLING™ units together.
When connecting EZ KLING™ to a network switch to control multiple devices, a
Gigabit Ethernet Switch that supports IGMP (Internet Group Management
Protocol) is required. Using a Gigabit Ethernet Switch that does not support IGMP
can cause erratic behavior of all connected devices to the switch.
