I'm not sure if it is because I have had way too much time to think about this with the Rona hiatus happening, but realize that I don't really know the answer to the following and have come to over think it , but...
I was thinking about patching/programming DMX, particularly on the ETC Express and Ion. How is it that the Express has 250 channels but 1024 DMX outputs? How is it the Ion can assign 1 channel to a multi-dmx channel light fixture, but Express needs a channel per DMX function? Meaning aren't the 1024 outputs pointless on the Express if there are only 250 channels? Is it the advancement technology? Was I or am I doing it wrong or was/is there a feature I am not aware of?
