3. Features

This product is a wireless DMX transmitter and receiver. It uses the publicly available 2.4GHz GSM band to

communicate DMX signals wirelessly over a range of up to 400m line of sight. At least two units need to be used in

any one set up (or one unit in conjunction with another compatible product).

The WDMX automatically determines if it is acting as a transmitter or a receiver. They work over seven different

bands so up to 7 separate DMX systems can be run in the one area without interfering with each other.

The WDMX replaces cables between DMX controllers and fixtures as well as between fixtures if need be. With one

WDMX attached to a DMX console, multiple WDMX units can then be used as receivers for either individual lights

or blocks of lights thereby effectively eliminating the need for a DMX splitter.

Please note, that due to our ongoing commitment to constantly reviewing and improving products, features and

specifications are subject to change without prior notice.

4. Operation

The WDMX will automatically determine if it is acting as a transmitter or a receiver. If a DMX cable from a

console is plugged into the device’s input, then it is a transmitter. The output can still be used to continue wired

DMX communication at the same time as wireless. When there is no DMX input to the WDMX, it acts as a

receiver.

The RGB LED on the unit will indicate which band is being used – up to 7 can be used in one area without

interference. The colours red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan and white are used to indicate band.

In order to view the ID of the band being used, press the ID Code Selector once. To change the band being used,
