Fixture and DMX counts on a MCP

Question:

How many fixtures and DMX channels can I connect to a MCP?

Answer:

There are two ports for Irideon fixture control data and a third port used for DMX output.  This does mean that you can output data to 62 Irideon fixtures (31 on each data bus with 1000' Max data wire run) with DMX output bus for controlling other DMX devices.  Remember that Composer treats Each DMX device as a single DMX address.  For example, if you are trying to control a moving light or dimming rack with 24 DMX addresses, 24 DMX devices will need to be added in Composer.
