8-Bit DMX The universally accepted lighting control protocol in the entertainment industry. A console uses this

protocol to control specific devices in a lighting system. A DMX512 channel packet is eight bits of absolute

parameter data. 8-bit refers to the resolution of the signal: 256 step resolution, providing channel values from

0 through 255. A DMX512 data packet is a group of 512 data channels.

16-Bit DMX To smooth out the movement of automated luminaires, the industry has adopted 16-bit DMX. This is not a

change to the DMX512 specification, rather a change in the way luminaires and consoles treat DMX512

information. In practice, 16-bit DMX adds a DMX512 channel each to pan and tilt - pan coarse, pan fine, tilt

coarse, tilt fine, instead of just pan and tilt. The console and luminaire combine these levels and increase the

resolution of pan and tilt from 256 steps to a theoretical maximum 65,536 steps at the console level, resulting

in the ability to position the luminaire more accurately.
