must be returned to the factory, it is important that the xture be returned in
the original factory box and packing.

GENERAL OVERVIEW
The LightCaster™ W-DMX IP is simple to install and set up. A wireless W-DMX™
system functions just like a wire, allowing you to send a whole universe of DMX
data wirelessly, with RDM commands as well, at the full data rate and with nonnoticeable delay.
To set up a simple W-DMX™ system, you will need one transceiver that plugs
into your lighting controller to act as a transmitter, and another transceiver (or
receiver) that receives the wireless DMX signal and outputs the DMX data to
your lighting xtures over a DMX cable. A single transmitter and receiver setup
can be expanded with multiple receivers, functioning like a big ‘in-air’ splitter,
such that the full universe of DMX is transmitted to multiple points.
W-DMX™ Receiver
A LightCaster™ W-DMX™ system can have at a minimum one receiver, and up
to an unlimited maximum number of receivers per universe of DMX. A receiver
is required to receive the DMX signal transmitted wirelessly by the transmitter
and output it to any downstream xtures.
W-DMX™ Transmitter
A LightCaster™ W-DMX™ system requires one transmitter per universe of DMX,
to broadcast the signal to any receiver. The controller will normally be plugged
straight in to the transmitting device.
