 In DMX mode, intensity, CCT, FX frequency and lighting effects can only be controlled by a DMX controller.

When controlling multiple 300x lights independently (i.e., A and B), offset each light by 6 channels. If you set light A at DMX 001, set light B at DMX 007, to control A and B separately on the DMX controller.
