INTRODUCTION

Wireless DMX is the ideal solution for fast setups, temporary installations, touring and production duties or places where you are physically unable to run DMX cables. Event Lighting brings a range of Wireless DMX devices to the market. There are 3 x models:

WDMXBASETR – This unit can operate as a transmitter or a receiver
WDMXXLRTX – This unit operates as a transmitter
WDMXXLRRX – This unit operates as a receiver

Plug and Go Just plug in the transmitter and receiver, then select the transmission or receiver mode via a single button. A coloured LED indicator light will let you know transmission and receiver status. Grouping is just as easy.

The range of transmission will vary depending on the environment and tests should be run to see actual coverage area, TABLE0 shows an indication of the Maximum coverage. A loss of around 30dDm is experienced when transmitting through a brick wall. Other walls and floors of varying materials will have a different loss.
