7. 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 91 HIER IBI H EII Iaido es BU HE IB HB BEST BOY 40009 SPOT LUMINAIRE USER MANUAL 92 Best Boy 40000 Spot Luminaire User Manual Version as of November 6 2012 PRG part number 02 9816 0001 11 PRO Production Resource Group LLC Dallas Office 8617 Ambassador Row Suite 120 Dallas Texas 75247 www prg com
