See the “DMX protocols” on page 24 for specific DMX control values, and “Connecting to control data” on
page 17 for DMX connection requirements.
Setting the DMX mode
Using the control panel, specify the DMX mode that provides the device controls that you require:
DMX mode Function
6 Halogen dimmer emulation.
7 Effects and collective control of pixels as a group.
24 Individual control of RGBA mix for individual pixels.
28 Effects and individual control of RGBA mix for individual pixels.
48 Fine and coarse control of RGBA mix for individual pixels.
Setting the dimming curve
The dimming curve is the degree of fineness in control available at low light levels. There are two dimming curve
options available on the SP-6 SixPack, linear or gamma corrected. Linear control provides uniform adjustment
throughout the control action, whereas gamma corrected dimming provides finer control at low light levels,
where the eye is more sensitive to change. By default, the SP-6 SixPack uses gamma corrected dimming. For
uniform response, set all devices to the same dimming curve. To set the desired dimming curve, use the control
panel to access the “Settings→Dimming curve” menu, and choose the required dimmer curve setting.
