This video demonstration is on the RC4Magic S3 DMX4dim device.

ISSUE : Banding, beating, and other visual artifacts can be an issue when working with video. In this example, both dimmers start at the default setting of 615Hz.

FIX : Increasing the PWM frequency resolves this: Press and hold the Set B ButtonSet B ButtonAll RC4 dimmers have Set buttons for each individual dimmer output. The second button is the Set B button. On a 2-channel device these are Set A and Set B buttons. A 4-channel device adds Set C and Set D. The most common use of the Set button is to assign a DMX channel and […]

PWM stands for Pulse-Width Modulation.  It is a method for using a switching device (one that can only be on or off) to create what appears to be analog changes in level.  This is done by […]

NOTE: The default PWM frequency is different for different system families:

RC4Magic 2.4GHz and RC4Magic-900 dimmers default to 615Hz, ideal for human eyes in a live performance environment

RC4 LumenDim and W-DIM dimmers default to 5kHz, ideal for video capture at normal frame rates

Each long-press of the Set B button increments to the next PWM frequency:

1. 615Hz (default)
2. 1.2kHz
3. 5kHz
4. 10kHz
5. 20kHz
6. 40kHz
7. The next long-press cycles back to #1 (615Hz)

The correct PWM frequency will eliminate visible artifacts:

A. The flashing pattern on DimA/DimB is different for each available frequency, indicating which frequency has been selected.

B.  A chart of PWM frequencies clarifies all of this.
