DMX Decoding Mode: 

The DMX Decoding Mode determines how the DMX input is processed and mapped to the 
outputs. This setting is directly affected by the Output Channels parameter, please make sure that 
setting is configured before adjusting the DMX Decoding Mode. The setting “dP2.1” enables 16-
bit input mode for all channel configurations. This mode uses two DMX input channels for each 
output, the first channel is the standard DMX adjustment and the second is for fine dimming 
control.
