Large values will seriously affect the efficiency of the console, especially
with large numbers of output dimmers. Therefore, first try the maximum
value to see if the problem is alleviated. If so, reduce the value as low as
possible while still achieving the benefits.

Setting and Using the DMX Input Mode
In addition to broadcasting DMX512, the console can receive DMX512 signals.
When DMX Input is enabled there are two modes of operation available:
• Pass Thru mode
• 9-Channel mode
Setting DMX Input to Pass Thru Mode
Pass Thru mode allows the MLC 16D to receive DMX512 signals from other
consoles and merge those values with the output of the console. The merging of
the signals is coordinated through a "highest takes precedence" arbitration
scheme. This means that the signal source with the higher value is used.
For example, if the input signal is 50 and the channel being controlled is an 8-bit
continuous channel, the console will only be able to control values between 50
and 255. The effect is what may appear to be a restriction of the range of control
on a channel-by-channel basis.
If the input signal is lost, the input values are retained until the console is
rebooted.
To set the DMX Input mode to Pass Thru mode:
