Go It Alone: A standalone DMX network

A standalone DMX network

The Details

A standalone DMX network uses a DMX network to connect iPlayer 3 to Data Enabler Pro and to Color Kinetics Blast IntelliHue Powercore luminaires, triggered with a Controller Keypad.

The Scenario

Here a single iPlayer 3 DMX controller controls Color Kinetics Blast IntelliHue Powercore luminaires that display eight color-changing light shows. Each IntelliHue luminaire produces high-quality white light, subtle pastels, and fully saturated colors—while all luminaires work together to display dazzling light shows.

iPlayer 3 (located in a secure location) sends light shows and triggering functions to the luminaires. A lighting designer can connect to the iPlayer 3 with their laptop to download new light shows.

Eight light shows run continuously according to the schedule managed by the controller. However, users can override the sequence by manually selecting light shows with wall-mounted Controller Keypads. Users can also manually adjust the brightness of the luminaires or turn them on and off.
