Number DMX dimmers that can be controlled

The specifications for the CS series of consoles is very vague.  The claim is to be able to have 40 / 80 channels of control on the CS20 / CS40 respectively.

 

But does a user have access to the entire universe(s) when using the console?  I mean if the venue has 200 dimmers (and conventional fixtures), and no intelligent light inventory, would the console be able to run a show using this inventory - all the fixtures / dimmers individually controlled?  I am willing to dial up the dimmers / fixtures using the keypad - as on other consoles.  But the question is whether this is possible or not.

  • All ETC consoles are "One Channel is One Independent Light"

    It does not matter whether that light needs one DMX address or fifty - It's still one light, so still just one Channel.
    Select that one Channel and you get complete control over everything the luminaire/device does.

    40 or 80 Channels means 40 or 80 independently-controlled luminaires (or devices)
    - It doesn't matter whether they are dimmers, LEDs, or all-singing-all-dancing moving lights.
