richardc1983 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Hi guys I have geni mojo scan 2 which has 255 DMX channels and im looking to buy a DMX controller to control them. There are 4 channels pan & tilt and gobo wheel and colour wheel. WHats confusing me is the controllers I have been looking at all say 192 channels? I have been looking at my DMX chart for my scanners and if this controller only can provide 192 channels then does that mean that it wont show all the gobos on colours? Its all really confusing because my scanner says 4 channels then 255 DMX channels??? :o Skytronic controller specs If not can you help me find a controller that will, I only have about £140 to spend and one that is relatively easy to use?

richardc1983 Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 Is this the standard value for all scanners? Does this mean that the controllers I have been looking at can only have a value on each channel between 0 & 192? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each of those channels can be given a value between 0 and 255, so said controller can be used. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
