DMX data is encoded with “channel” information similarly to MIDI so that each receiving device can pay attention only to particular information. Each channel can carry a value from 0-255. Note that it’s therefore easy to convert the standard MIDI range 0-127 to the DMX range 0-255 just by multiplying values by 2 (or by shifting the number one bit to the left).
