In general, the DMX protocol supports 512 channels, and this protocol does not go any more.

But I think you might think something else: whether you can double-lay on a desk controller with different addresses. It actually goes with the most cults. A control panel with 16 controllers, can usually manage 32 addresses or even more, that really comes to the desk, as you have to take a look into the data sheet. You can usually switch the benches via a button.

Today’s devices such as LED headlights and movingheads are very channel-hungry, as there are 10 channels per device running fast. If I program someone a cult, most of them are:
Classic dimmers or monochrome LED spots are located on the low channels, which you want to start directly manually. Mostly CH1-6. On CH7-9 then usually followers, blind, etc… and on 10-12 just the first three channels of the RGB-Fluter, which are usually red, green, blue. The rest like fashion, fader, shutter, strobe, etc… are stored in the program that you do not need to manually control.

On the faders 13-24 are the programs for departure.
Such devices like movingheads or scanners can usually only be accessed via software or fixed programs, as there is no manual operation anyway, so the higher addresses get.
