DMX dimming is now possible in 8 bit or 16 bit mode. 8 bit dimming uses one channel of DMX and therefore the
only possible resolution is 256 discrete steps. With 16 bits a fixture can have 65536 steps. Whilst it would be
impossible for the human eye or a camera set up to discern all the steps it does provide potential for smoother
dimming. When it 16 bit mode, Silk uses 3 channels of DMX; dimming coarse, dimming fine, CCT.
