Intelligent (i.e., DMX-capable) lighting fixtures typically feature multiple channels, with channel presets (determined by the manufacturer) that control various functions. For example, a 5-channel LED fixture might utilize five DMX channels, allocating specific functions to each channel:
Channel 1: Dimmer
Channel 2: Red
Channel 3: Green
Channel 4: Blue
Channel 5: Shutter / Strobe
The set of attributes of a fixture’s DMX channel functions may also be referred to as its « personality».
