Control
DMX input with straightforward channel mapping for pan/tilt and common programming parameters. The DMX Channels are adjusted by buttons on the control module. Important, set all channels to non dim, channel one can only operate if channel 2 is off and vice versa, channel 3 can only operate if channel 4 is off. Most Console operators program their board so each fixture has up/down/left/right arrows on screen so they can use the mouse to click on and off each channel
