Master DMX Control

To control software-level properties with DMX, you can use Control by DMX window.

To do this, open the Control by DMX window which you can find under Tools in the Top Bar, and enable it. Here you can trigger or control:

• Master control: Master Fade and Master Volume

• Output fades: Fades of Virtual outputs.

• Global variables.

With the Universe property, you can assign a Universe within which DMX values will control the above-mentioned properties.

In the Start channels section, the difference between two consecutive Start channels determines which Channels are reserved for each property.

By selecting the same Universe in the DMX In window, you should be able to see all the Channels that you have chosen, appear as green. If you hover over these Channels, you will see a tooltip with the property that is being controlled on that Universe and Channel.

Controlling Global Variables with DMX

To control global variables with DMX you have to set them up the same way as Layer variables. More information how to do that is available in Controlling Layers with DMX.
