The **DMX Remotes** tab uses DMX channels as remote triggers. The DMX source can also be the console itself.

|                                            | The DMX Remote can be controlled by 16 bit or 24 bit DMX channels. This allows for more precise control. |

|                                            | On the controlling DMX device, the 16 bit and 24 bit channels must be patched directly after the 8 bit channel. |
