DMX Modes and Configuration

The Nano Beam has multiple DMX modes, sometimes called “personalities”, “profiles”, or 
as we will use here “modes”.

In general, modes with more DMX channels offer a greater level of control or options but 
take up more of your output channels on your lighting console or software.  

Modes with less DMX channels often offer less control, but may be plenty for your needs. 
Depending on your needs and control solution, you may not need channels for 
automated programs, strobes, or macros – your console may have great effects!  In this 
case, you can use a lesser channel mode and fit more lights per DMX universe.

View the DMX mode charts below to find the mode that best suits your needs.
