• Fixture refers to your lighting effect or other device such as a fogger or dimmer which you can control.
• Sliders are also known as faders.
• Scanner refers to a lighting effect with a pan and tilt mirror; however DMX controllers can use this term
to control any DMX-512 compatible device as a generic fixture.
• MIDI is a standard term for representing musical information in a digital format. A MIDI input would
provide external triggering of scenes using MIDI devices such as a MIDI keyboard.
• Stand Alone refers to a fixture’s ability to function independently of an external controller and usually in
sync to music due to a built-in microphone.
• Fade slider is used to adjust the fade time between scenes within a chase.
• Speed slider affects the amount of time a scene will hold its state. It is also considered a wait time.
• Shutter is a mechanical device in the lighting fixture that allows you to block the light’s path. It is often
used to lessen the intensity of the light output and to strobe.
• Patching refers to the process of assigning faders to a DMX channel within a fixture.
• Playbacks can be either scenes or chases that are directly recalled by the user. A playback can also
be considered program memory that can be used during a show.
