DMX Implementation Tables
The Creamsource offers a number of different DMX implementations, in both 8 and 16 bit reso-
lutions. These charts refer to software versions 5.0 and above.
Under the Advanced Menu in the Creamsource, the following modes can be achieved by setting
‘DMX 16bit’ & ‘DMX Effects’ checkboxes as desired
When using the single colour Creamsource (i.e. Daylight or Tungsten) the CCT slot is still pres-
ent, but is ignored.

For scenarios 1 & 3, smoothing is controlled by ‘DMX Smooth’ setting in the Advanced Menu
in the Creamsource. For modes 2 & 4, it is controlled by the relevant channel and the ‘DMX
Smooth’ setting in the Creamsource is ignored.
