5. Update DMX Base

DMX Base uses the DMX BASE output port. It is a unique feature that allows the console to run up to 12 Light
shows that are independent of the output of the console. It can be used to control two different types of show.
• The first type allows you to control up to 170 RGB type LED fittings by using shows created from Flash files. This
is a quick and efficient way to program a series of rainbows or other color movement effects over the RGB fittings.
• The second type of show allows you to record a DMX stream in real time. The best way to think of this is as a
video recorder. You plug a console into the DMX In on the 200 Plus Series Console rear panel, start the external
show running and all the DMX changes from that show will be recorded in real time. You can then play this show
back as required.
