7 7  ShowRunner™ can control DMX fixtures through several different methods, including Pharos DMX controllers. The most common Pharos controllers sold through Crestron are the Pharos LPC-1 (DIN-DMX-1UNIVERSE) and the Pharos LPC-2 (DIN-DMX-2UNIVERSE). These LPC controllers appear physically identical, but the LPC-1 shares a single universe across both DMX outputs while the LPC-2 has a separate universe for each output. ShowRunner™ uses the Pharos Controller API to send commands over Ethernet to the Pharos Controller, which then sends DMX commands to the fixtures.

183 183  Pharos Designer 2 has several features that make it relatively straightforward to address DMX fixtures, or to change how fixtures need to be addressed in order for the lighting controls to work correctly. Since ShowRunner™ uses fixture groups to send commands to DMX fixtures on the Pharos LPC, the specific fixture addresses do not matter as long as they are addressed according to the Pharos project. This means that if fixtures are re-patched to different addresses in the Pharos project but kept in the same fixture groups, then no changes to the ShowRunner™ configuration are necessary.

185 185  In addition to allowing the re-patching of fixtures, Pharos LPC have Remote Device Management (RDM) capabilities that allow for remotely addressing DMX fixtures provided the fixtures are RDM capable. See our [[DMX Fixture Addressing page>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation Guide.Device Addressing.DMX Fixture Addressing.WebHome]] for more general information regarding DMX networks and fixture addressing for non-RDM capable fixtues.
