Re: 16bit DMX

Not that I've come across no, I was using pseudo to indicate that there isn't actually a 16bit number being transmitted directly via DMX, but rather two 8bit numbers being interpreted by the receiving fixture as one 16bit value.

Re: 16bit DMX

I'm loving all the MIDI and DMX control possibilities SCS offers :D I want to trigger a cue with a midi foot switch, and for it to continue playing whilst the switch is pressed. However, when the switch is relea...
