Choosing Other Dimmer Curves or Profiles
The DMX6dim default is the ISL dimmer curve, which is best for LEDs. This is
also the curve that is selected with RC4 OneTouch™ when the DMX level is at
30%.
There are dimmer curves for different kinds of lamps, motors, and more.
Detailed information can be found online by searching dimmer curves at
http://rc4.info/.
The most common curves are selected using these DMX channel levels and
RC4 OneTouch™ with the Set buttons as outlined on page 9:
Non-Dim
100% (80% or higher)
Use for relays, solenoids, air valves, etc.
Linear
70% (60 - 79%)
For incandescent, halogen, tungsten lamps.
ISL Fast
50% (40 - 59%)
For LEDs when fast blinks and flashes are required.
RC4 Digital Persistence™ is disabled.
ISL Slow
30% (20 - 39%)
Best for typical LED applications, with RC4 Digital Persistence™.
For super smooth 19-bit dimming. (default setting)

Advanced Features
The DMX6dim is a multifaceted device for users of all experience levels. The
features below can be explored further at http://rc4.info/ or by asking us for
help at support@rc4wireless.com:
•
RC4 Commmander software, available for Mac OSX and Windows,
provides a rich user interface for configuring multiple RC4Magic devices
remotely.
•
The DMX6dim can also be configured with an RDM controller, via a wired
connection to the DMX/RDM data port. Wireless RDM is not supported.
•
Using a small adaptor cable, the DMX6dim can be used as a wireless data
receiver to deliver DMX to other devices. It can also be used as a wired
DMX dimmer: the miniplug DMX port becomes an input when the device
is not linked to a transmitter.
•
When using the DMX6dim for cinema (motion picture capture), PWM
frequencies can be adjusted for the smoothest dimming without banding
or other artifacts.
•
The DMX6dim has a wide variety of dimmer curves that can ring
telephones, position servo motors, and more (using DimC, D, E, and F).
•
Using the RC4 Flkr Effects Engine™, you can create many unique effects
including candle flicker, analog tv screen noise, welding spark, and much
more.
•
An HSL (Hue/Saturation/Level) processor can be enabled, making it easy
to find a specific color and dim it up and down without color variation.
