Hello,

Interesting to see the addition of 'Continuous' and 'Delta' DMX transmission; I haven't heard of this before. What is the benefit of switching to Delta transmission?

This option has been added thanks to the firmware update. Continuous streams DMX at a rate of 29Hz. Delta streams DMX packets whenever there is a change in DMX data from the console. If there are no changing values from the console, the data rate drops 1Hz. It is therefore a useful option to use for a couple of reasons. Firstly if there are DMX devices on the line that are not truly DMX compliant, changing this could help control them, by changing the data rate. It also can be useful when running effects. If in continuous the parameter changes would happen 29 times a second, whereas delta would increase this for an update every time there is a change. 

It’s therefore an option that you’ll probably not need to change, but useful to have if you run into any issues.
