Airstream DMX Bridge Introduction

Airstream DMX Bridge General Instructions

Introduction: Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the
ADJ Airstream DMX Bridge. The Airstream DMX Bridge is a wire­less bridge between your Wi-Fi device and ADJ lighting products
equipped with WiFly or wired DMX512. The ADJ Airstream DMX
Bridge is the ideal solution for DJ’s, nightclubs, bars or for any
event where you don’t want data cables to be seen, and when it
is not easy to run data cables to your fixture(s) location. The Air­stream DMX Bridge creates its own local secure Wi-Fi network
so that you can use your IPhone or IPad as a lighting controller
using the Airstream DMX app. A single shared DMX512 universe
is transmitted over both the DMX512 connector and the Wifly
network.

Airstream DMX Bridge Indicators, Connections, & Functions

Airstream DMX Bridge Bridge Settings

All setup is done from inside the Airstream DMX app. With the
bridge turned on, you should be able to nd the “ADJ Airstream
DMX” network using the Wi-Fi settings on your IPhone or IPad.
The default password to join is “airstream”. After joining the net­work you can start the Airstream DMX app. You should see the
“connected” message when the app starts. The bridge setup
view can be found by selecting the “Fixtures” tab at the bottom
then selecting “Patch” in the upper right, and then “Bridge” in the

upper right. A view will appear
similar to the following gure.

1

65432

7

1. Wi-Fi Antenna – signal between bridge and Wi-Fi device.

2. Wiy Antenna – signal to Wiy equipped lighting equipment.

3. Power Supply Connection - Connect the provided power

supply to this jack.

4. Activity Indicator LED - This LED indicates activity on the

device.

5. USB connector – used for rmware updates.

6. 3 Pin DMX Out - Output the DMX512 signal (Wiy and DMX512

universes are the same)

7. Power Switch – power on/o switch.

From the Bridge Settings view,
you can congure the Wiy
and Wi-Fi network settings. If
you are only using the wired
DMX512 output and not using
Wiy to control your lights,
it is recommended that you
turn Wiy enable o. This will

improve the performance of

the Wi-Fi connection. When
Wiy is enabled, you can
select the Wiy channel (0-14).
Set the Wiy channel on your
lights to this same value. On
the example here you can see
that Wiy is enabled and the
channel is set to 3. It is recom­mended that you set the Wiy
channel as far as possible from
the Wi-Fi channel.

From this view you can also

change the Wi-Fi network
name, password and channel. It is recommended that you
change the password for the security of your lighting system.

Airstream DMX Bridge Bridge Settings

Changes will take eect after you turn the bridge o and then
back on again. It is recommended that you use the upper chan­nels for Wi-Fi and lower channels for Wiy. When making the
channel selection you will notice a bar graph next to each chan­nel showing the current radio activity on that channel. Try to
choose a channel with the least amount of activity. In the U.S.
Wi-Fi channels 1-11 are available for use.

The network name can be 1-32 characters in length and the
password can be 8-16 characters in length. Only alphanumeric
characters or space characters are allowed.

ANTENNAS:

The antenna angles can be adjusted for optimum performance.
For best results the Wiy antenna should be set to the same ori­entation as the light xture’s antennas. You can experiment with
dierent angles to see what works the best. Both antennas set
to a 45 degree angle is a good compromise starting point. Make
sure both antennas are tightened into their sockets as far as they
can go. Grab the inside base of the antenna next to the body of
the bridge to tighten.

Airstream DMX Bridge Installation

Before attaching the bracket to the xture, rst attach install
a clamp to the bracket. Next, attach the bracket to the xture
using the included screws. The xture should be mounted using
the clamp attached to the bracket. Always ensure that the x­ture is rmly xed to avoid vibration and slipping while operat­ing. Always ensure that the structure to which you are attaching
the xture is secure and is able to support a weight of 10 times
of the xture’s weight. Also always use a safety cable that can
hold 12 times the weight of the xture when installing the x­ture. The unit also has a magnetic bottom that can be axed to

anything metal.
