Operation 

Navigation Buttons: 

 

 

Up and Down are used to cycle through settings and adjust parameters.

 

 

Enter is used to select a setting to adjust.

 

 

Back saves the current setting and stops adjustment of that parameter

 

DMX Address: 

 

This display indicates the current DMX starting address. Press Enter and then Up or Down to 
change the DMX starting address. Up and Down can be held down to quickly scroll through 
addresses. Press Back once the desired DMX address has been reached. 

Output Channels: 

 

The “Output Channels” parameter allows the utilize all five output channels using fewer DMX 
channels. Based on the number of independent channels needed, the outputs will be mapped as 
follows. Note: this mapping is for DMX starting address 001 and default “Decoding Mode” 
value. See the section on Decoding Mode below for more information.

Output PWM Resolution: 

 

The Bit Depth setting controls the DMX output smoothing resolution, either 8-bit or 16-bit. The 
decoder provides output smoothing in 16-bit mode (default and recommended). This setting is 
different from 16-bit DMX input. 16-bit DMX input is set through the Decoding Mode.
