time will be reduced to fill entire time between the two receiving DMX values.
e.g. "Fade Time".=2sec. and fixture has received Red=0 DMX, after 5 seconds will receive Red=255 DMX. It
means, that red will go to full intensity during 2 seconds.
"Fade Time"=8 sec. and fixture has received Red=0 DMX, after 5 seconds will receive Red=255 DMX. It
