Can I control more than 512 channels?
No, the TR-512 Pocket is designed for up to 512 DMX channels. For larger setups, consider a higher-channel controller.
How do I update the fixture library?
Connect the controller to a PC via USB and use the Showtec Library Manager software to import new fixture profiles.
