6 pack dimmers
Posted: Tue Jan 20, 2026 1:44 am
Hi
I have three six channel dimmers, and a single channel dimmer of my own but the fixture bank only has 4 or 8 channel dimmers. I also regularly go to a venue where there are 48 channels of installed dimmer packs. For those I can duplicate the 8 channels but would prefer to have it as a single bank. Am I better to define each generic fitting I want and defining the DMX address of the channel I wish to use ignoring the fact that I am actually controlling a dimmer channel? The only issue I can see with that is looking at the fixture map, it doesn't then immediately tell me the start and end addresses of the individual dimmer packs. Ready to do things either way, but keen to keep it simple as migrating from V9 so am having to refine everything.
Thanks in anticipation.
