•
For any system
using a DMX decoder, the last decoder in the series should have the termination switch set to “ON”.
All other
DMX decoders should have the termination switch set to “OFF”.
8-bit and 16-bit Modes:
The decoder is capable of operating in standard 8-bit DMX mode or in high-resolution 16-bit mode. The decoder should be left in 8-
bit mode unless the DMX controller is configured specifically for 16-bit resolution. 16-bit mode assigns two DMX input channels for
each of the four outputs. The first channel operates like a normal DMX channel, 256 steps between off and maximum brightness. The
second channel provides 256 micro-steps between each step of the first channel. This allows for over 65,536 adjustment steps, but
requires twice as many DMX channels. Always turn off power to the decoder before changing between 8- and 16-bit modes.
