The SDC-6 v2 provides straightforward control over your DMX lighting fixtures.
5.1. Channel Faders (1-6)
Each of the six numbered faders (1 through 6) corresponds to a DMX channel. Moving a fader up increases the DMX value for that channel (from 0 to 255), while moving it down decreases the value. The specific function of each channel (e.g., dimmer, color, strobe) depends on the DMX address and mode settings of your connected lighting fixture.
5.2. Master Fader
The Master fader controls the overall output level of all active DMX channels. Moving the Master fader down will dim or turn off all lights controlled by the individual channel faders, regardless of their individual settings. Moving it up will restore the output to the levels set by the individual channel faders.
