Fixture definitions for control of Capture Visualization's "Capture 2023" visualizer in-software cameras, dmx movers, rotators, and special effects.

Manual: https://www.capture.se/Manual/en-UK/2023/Appendix.html

Known issue - some of the 16-bit values have ranges that go beyond 0-255 and I wasn't sure how best to notate that in the channel capabilities section, since the values span both the MSB and LSB channels.

For example:, in the "DMX Rotator, Alpha & Speed 16-bit Mode" the Coarse Speed (MSB) and Fine Speed (LSB) settings are as follows:
0 - 2559, 0% to 100%
2560 - 33791, Reverse continuous, fast to slow
33792 - 34303, Standstill
34304 – 65535, Forward continuous, slow to fast

Other than the 16-bit capability definitions, all modes are included as listed in the Capture 2023 documentation appendix. Cameras, Smoke Boxes, Media Players, DMX Movers, DMX Rotators, Special Effects, and Water Jet.

34304 – 65535, Forward continuous, slow to fast
To get MSB, divide the value by 256 and LSB is the division remainder

* 0 - 2559 [0:0]-[9:255]
* 2560 - 33791 [10:0]-[131:255]
* 33792 - 34303 [132:0]-[133:255]
* 34304 – 65535 [134:0]-[255:255]

You see that you can simplify the values by using only the MSB:

* 0 - 2559 -> 0-9
* 2560 - 33791 -> 10-131
* 33792 - 34303 -> 132-133
* 34304 – 65535 -> 134-255

Thanks Jano! I've updated the DMX Rotator Coarse Speed channel capabilities.
