2. DMX lighting control is all about taking your lighting experience to
another whole new level. It has revolutionized the lighting industry
with intelligent technological advancements.
In the past, intelligent lighting domain was a preserve for those
considered professionals. However, with the development and design
of more affordable electrical, electronic, plus computer control
systems, superior good lighting effects can now be realized.
Understanding Intelligent Lighting?
Intelligent lighting comprises unique elements that can be controlled
remotely. At an intricate level, this might involve moving heads,
patterns & colors. And on a simple level, only the color can be
controlled with RGB LEDs or a dimmer. In short, intelligent lighting is
amazing.

3. Integrating a controller, DMX lighting makes it possible for you to
simultaneously send signals to multiple devices, sequencing them
automatically with a pre-determined view or operating the effects
live on-the-y. If you have watched the popular Halloween house
lights video set to thriller, you should know that it utilizes DMX
intelligent lighting control.
So, What Is DMX?
DMX is a digital, unidirectional serial protocol without error checking
capabilities. It’s very reliable but prone to interference, something
which makes it unt for hazardous effects like pyrotechnics. For
instance, a stray signal/electrical interference might cause a ame
tower. Like many digital cables, the quality of produced signals
decreases over long distances & repeaters can be incorporated into
the lighting system to increase the distance/split the signal using
Ethernet switches. The DMX cabling itself comprises 2 shielded
twisted pairs. Technically, 5-pin DMX wiring should be used, but
certain manufacturers have designed 3-pin versions that can run over
conventional microphone XLR cabling.
Are Your Lighting Fixtures DMX
Capable?
A DMX-capable lighting xture should have more than two XLR
connectors (which must be marked as DMX IN / OUT) and a way to

4. set the DMX address (i.e. either small switches arranged in a row or a
control panel). Note that the XLR connectors can have three or ve
pins, but it depends on the manufacturer. Just refer to the xture
manual to establish the number of DMX channels the light uses.
Will your lighting system work with
DMXIS or Even D-PRO?
DMX supported xtures can be controlled using any DMX software
/console. So, whether yours is a dimmer pack, a moonower, or even a
scanner, it can perfectly work with DIMXIS. Moreover, moving head,
laser, and LED spot can work well with DMXIS. In fact, DMXIS & D-
PRO are capable of controlling all lights, provided they have DMX
connectors.
What About Sound Activated Light?
However, “sound activated” lights with no XLR connectors cannot be
controlled by DMX. LED lighting has undergone massive
technological advancements that have completely revolutionized the
lighting industry, offering improved performance and highly efcient
lighting options both for residential & commercial applications. The
0-10V and the DALI (digital addressable lighting interfaces) dimming
modules are two unique components that provide true innovations

5. for various dimming control projects. Working alongside these
elements is the DMX control (digital multiplex), an important
component often utilized in color mixing applications.
