Serial Peripheral Interface: this is an interface bus between that is used to
send data between microcontrollers and IC's.

readymade circuit that is able to perform one specific task. An IC can be
placed separately on a PCB or integrated in a LED package to control/drive
a LED or segment/array of LEDs.
Type of control protocol that is used by an IC.
A scene can also be referred to as a cue and can contact static and
dynamic values that control specific channels.
A playlist consists of multiple scenes that are played in a specific order
according to pre-programmed parameters.
A sequence of actions triggered by only one trigger.
Typically, a universe is referred to as one DMX control network consisting
of 512 control channels, also typically associated with one DMX output.
DiGidot also refers to a universe as one set of 512 control Channels that
belong to specific Art-Net, sACN or DMX universes. But when we mention
more than one universe on one output for example, we always refer to
them as amount of control channels and not necessarily as DMX
universes.
Input/Output configuration, determines how and which signals the C4 is
controlled by and how the ports of the C4 are configured.
Digital MultipleX is a universal lighting control protocol which is
standardized by USITT and ESTA/Plasa.
