If any of the Revision Tags are active in the file, there is further information about the tags. For instance, it lists which users have tagged the file.
There is also information about the channels and what attribute each channel controls. This information can be viewed in two versions: Plain View or Smart View. It can be toggled by clicking the gray text next to the DMX modes heading. The smart view divides the channels into the geometries of the fixture. If the fixture only has one geometry, there is no difference between the two views.
