DMX Modes and Configuration
The Borealis R 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. In the case
of the Borealis R, the 25 Channel mode offers control of the backlight effect, whereas the
14 Channel does not. This is the biggest difference between the 2.
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 auto-
mated 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.
