# Channel families and types

Channel types are the different kind of DMX channels you wanna use, for example : *intensity*, *red*, *green*, *blue*, *pan*, *tilt*, etc.. They are organised in **Channel Families** like *Dimmers*, *Colors*, *Positions*... You can create / modify / delete types and families like you want.

Channel types are used in presets and sequences to tell Blinderkitten which channel type will be modified by you command.
