Channel Based Consoles

Older DMX512 consoles were never specifically designed to control automated luminaires of any

type. These consoles typically operate in an 8-bit environment. If you are using one of these consoles,

consider using the timing channels offered in Modes 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 in our DMX 5.2 software. You

will find complete information on timing channels and how to use them in "Luminaire Timing

Channels" on page 16.
