channel on a moving light is often called the Dimmer, even though the dimming
method may involve the action of mechanical shutter blades.
DIN
Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V. The MIDI standard specifies the use of
180degree 5 pin DIN plugs.
Dipless
The fades on the JesterML are processed so that there will not be a ‘dip’ in the
brightness of a channel when crossfading from one scene to another.
Direction
The order in which chase steps are output. This can be forward, backward, bounce
or random – set when CHASES is selected.
DMX512-A
Standard communications protocol for dimmers and moving lights. 512 channels of
control are digitally multiplexed and sent down a cable to dimmers, which listen for
their specific data, according to their start address. The official standard is now
published by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as E1.11-2004 –
USITT DMX512-A. The JesterML’s DMX ports conform to this standard.
DMX In
The ability to take a DMX input (see DMX512-A) into the JesterML, and output it
through the JesterML’s DMX output. This allows you to store the incoming DMX
signal as part of a scene or chase. These can then be replayed as a normal scene
or chase, but affect unpatched channels in the entire universe of DMX.
Duplicate
An additional DMX address given to a channel or a fixture.
Dwell Time
The time that the desk waits after the completion of the longest fade, before looking
at the trigger on the next memory.
