## What is DMX Dip?

DMX Dip allows you to easily calculate the correct address setting on your fixture. 
DMX Dip saves you valuable time, you don't have to calculate what dip switches you have to set to put your fixture on an address. Typing three numbers into the app is much faster than calculating all that binary numbers in your head. 
The reverse operation is also possible, just use the dip switches in the app like you would use real-life switches, and DMX Dip tells you exactly for which address the fixture is configured.

The offset feature comes in handy if you have to address the same fixture over and over again. Need to address two dozen LED-PARs? Set the offset to 4 and with the press of a single button you get all those addresses in no time.

## Key features

- Calculate DMX address settings
- Determine address from dip switches
- Reverse dip switch calculation
- Offset feature for multiple fixtures
- Fast and easy address setting

### 5/5 — When you need this app, you REALLY need this app

*2020-08-30, version 2.5.0*

Dip switches are hardly ever used any more in lighting, so fewer and fewer people know how to use them. So when a fixture or a DMX decoder is using dip switches, this app is a LIFESAVER. It helped me no end, where I didn’t need it for a long time, until I had to set up some LED strips and the decoders had dip switch DMX addresses. Then the app was amazing. 

This app is super easy to use, quick to understand, and SO handy in a pinch.

### 5/5 — Apple Watch support ?

*2018-12-29*

### 5/5 — Simplement magique

*2017-11-01*

Facile d’utilisation

### 3/5 — Great all but...

*2016-08-01, version 2.4.2*

Does exactly what you need it to: calculate the dip switches for your fixtures but it constantly bugs you to upgrade. Ad supported, sure. It's free, can't complain about ads. But asking me every 5 mins to buy the app made me delete it.

### 5/5 — Great app, nice features

*2015-12-23, version 2.4.2*

If you hold down on the increment button, you can change it to another value! This is a handy app, made my life easier tonight so bought the ad-free upgrade!

### 5/5 — Great App

### 3/5 — Functional but.....

Thank you Matthias. This is simple and accessible, all that is required by those innumerate in binary scale.

## Frequently asked questions about DMX Dip

### What does DMX Dip do?

DMX Dip is a utility app designed to simplify the process of setting DMX addresses for lighting fixtures. It allows users to easily calculate the correct dip switch configurations needed for a specific DMX address, or conversely, determine the DMX address based on the current dip switch settings.

### How does the offset feature work?

The offset feature is useful when addressing multiple fixtures of the same type. You can set an initial offset value, and then with a single button press, the app will increment the address for each subsequent fixture, saving significant time when setting up large numbers of lights.

### Is DMX Dip free to use?

The app is free to download and use, but it offers in-app purchases. This suggests that while core functionality is available for free, certain advanced features or an ad-free experience might require a purchase.

### What is the main benefit of using DMX Dip?

The primary benefit is saving valuable time and reducing the mental effort required for DMX addressing. Instead of manually calculating binary numbers for dip switches, users can quickly input numbers or use the app's interface to get the correct settings.

### Can I use DMX Dip for any lighting fixture?

The app is designed for fixtures that use dip switches for address setting. While it simplifies the calculation process, users should still refer to their specific fixture's manual to ensure compatibility and correct implementation of the calculated settings.
