DMX control channels . The unit can also be con-
trolled via 27, 23 or 8 channels if the functions
provided are sufficient (
if the number of channels available on the light
controller is less than 69 .
DMX (Digital Multiplex) means digital control
of multiple DMX units via a common control line .

unit etc . until all light effect units have been
connected in a chain .
3) Terminate the DMX output of the last DMX
