# N (magenta) The non-dim threshold (non-dims).
# (red background) The output level of an output under direct control. To learn how to
control outputs directly from other displays refer to Direct Output Control
The Status window at the top right gives information on the intensity and attribute channels as
follows:
Intensity Channels
Total The total number of intensity channels available. This depends on the number of
installed channels.
In Use The number of intensity channels currently created. Patching to a previously unused
intensity channel increases this value.
Free The number of unused intensity channels. Deleting an intensity channel increases this
value.
Attribute Channels
Total The total number of attribute channels available. This depends on the number of
installed channels.
In Use The number of attribute channels currently created. Patching to a previously unused
intensity channel increases this value.
Free The number of unused attribute channels. Deleting an attribute channel increases this
value.
Output Numbers (500 Series Consoles)
A 500 Series console can control 2048 outputs, in four banks of 512, through the four DMX
ports. In addition, using Networker Software, the outputs can be sent via the network. The
network has 4096 virtual outputs. The 2048 console outputs can be assigned to different
ranges of the 4096 virtual outputs. This could, for example, allow two consoles to each control
half of the network system (e.g. one console for moving lights, the other for conventional lights)
without interfering with each other.
Outputs can be specified and/or displayed as output numbers, 0 to 4096 (or in Universe.Dmx
format). In Universe.Dmx format, each output connector has its own number from 1 to 8 and
each signal from the connector has its own number from 1 to 512. The two numbers are used
together, so that the 123 rd output from the 3rd DMX connector is addressed as 3.123. DMX
connectors 1 through 4 are output from the console. The remainder of the DMX connectors
must be on the network.
Output Numbers (300 Series Consoles)
A 300 Series console can control 1024 outputs, in two banks of 512, through the two DMX
