Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Apollo Wireless Lighting ecosystem from
Litepanels: Powered by Lighticians. The Apollo Wireless Lighting
Bridge is the ultimate “Swiss Army Knife” of wireless lighting control.
This universally compatible bridge connects to any DMX xture
via wireless DMX, Ethernet, 5-pin XLR, or WiFi. It connects to any
LumenRadio CRMX receiver and integrates the state-of-the-art
TimoTwo module for robust wireless DMX transmission even in the
most crowded radio frequency environments.
The Apollo Bridge also is an enterprise grade network router that can
be congured for sophisticated data networking. Conguration and
provisioning is performed using an intuitive web based interface from
any web browser including on mobile devices and tablets. WiFi is
supported simultaneously on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, giving
the user enhanced and automatic interference avoidance with other
on-set wireless equipment.
Apollo is a two-part system that enables wireless DMX
communication to Litepanels xtures, such as the Astra and Gemini,
along with most other DMX controllable lighting devices. The Apollo
Bridge uses LumenRadio CRMX for wireless DMX communication to
xtures and E1.31 sACN over WiFi or Ethernet for direct control from
a mobile device, computer or lighting console.
Operators nally have a device that can be trusted on any location
and implemented into existing data workows, regardless of what
equipment or protocols are being used. Meanwhile, rst time wireless
customers have an intuitive and reliable solution that enables more
powerful control without needing to be a DMX or networking expert.
When used in concert, along with Litepanels xtures, these two
products complete a lighting ecosystem that seamlessly and without
interruption empowers lighting creatives with fast uid control that
maximizes their craft.

Operation
Advanced Capabilities
In addition to acting as a self contained WiFi network, the Apollo
Wireless Bridge has several other ways of controlling and connecting
lighting devices.
Ethernet
The Ethernet port on the Base Station provides another connection
option. Other devices can connect to the sACN LAN and the use of
downstream bridges is completely supported. Using a large Ethernet
bridge, it is possible to connect many devices. The integrated WiFi
access point can be used in conjunction with wired Ethernet for multinode systems. As a default, the LAN network will always route to/from
all WiFi connected devices and share the same IP address pool and
subnet.
5-Pin XLR Input
Apollo can optionally receive and route DMX through the 5-pin XLR
DMX port. An XLR 5 pin Male-Male adaptor (not included) will be
required for this in addition to adjustments with the web GUI.
5-Pin XLR Out
The 5-pin XLR port will transmit the same active DMX universe as the
LumenRadio CRMX signal. This enables a wired network of xtures
using standard 5-pin DMX cables to be used simultaneously with a
LumenRadio CRMX network.
Multi-Universe Networks
If more than one universe is required, several Apollo Wireless DMX
Bridges can be set to dierent universe numbers and connected
together using an Ethernet switch. Each Apollo Wireless Bridge can
control its own set of paired LumenRadio CRMX Receivers and/or
XLR connected chains of DMX devices.
Apollo Receivers will need to be Linked to the individual Apollo
Wireless Bridges at dierent times. To Link the rst DMX Universe,
power on only the Apollo Receivers you wish to be associated with
that Universe. Then press the Link button on the back of the rst
DMX Universe Base Station. Repeat this process for the other DMX
Universes.
The DMX universe can be congured using the Apollo Wireless
Bridge web controls.
Advanced Routing and Networking
In addition to the lighting control features, many more advanced
routing and access point congurations are possible using the
“Advanced Settings” section of the web control panel. While
Litepanels cannot oer specic support for those installations
advanced users working with IT Departments or who have knowledge
of TCP/IP networking themselves will nd many more options
available by looking through the advanced pages.
Radio Frequency and Interference Management
Antennae Placement
For the best performance, the WiFi and CRMX antennae should be
articulated on dierent planes at 90° angles perpendicular to each
other.
For maximum range, the Apollo Wireless DMX Bridge CRMX Antenna
and CRMX Receiver antennae should be oriented in the same
direction, and all devices should have an uninterrupted line-of-sight
between them.
12
Page 15
Operation
If WiFi signal or latency problems such as lag or choppy DMX
performance persist, it may be necessary to adjust the position of
the two antennae on the Apollo Wireless Bridge. Tilting the antennae
perpendicular to each other can enhance the distance of the WiFi
signal.
If using other wireless transmission devices, such as other wireless
DMX devices or WiFi routers, it is suggested to maintain a minimum
of 15 feet between devices for optimum performance of both systems.
Selecting a WiFi Channel
The 2.4 GHz WiFi band is divided into 11 channels. Because WiFi
channels overlap, the number of WiFi channels allocated by default
on the Apollo Bridge is restricted to minimize interference from
surrounding WiFi networks. Using channels 1, 6 or 11 whenever
possible will help provide the most reliable WiFi signal strength while
minimizing interference.
This can be congured within the Advanced Settings pages within the
web controls.
Dense WiFi Environments
5GHz WiFi is built into the Apollo Bridge and enabled by default. Any
device supporting 5GHz WiFi will automatically connect using those
frequencies instead of the typically more crowded 2.4GHz band. In
environments with extremely high device counts or with numerous
other 2.4GHz/5GHz networks — be they WiFi or other networks on
the same bands; a Spectrum Analyzer can be used to determine the
least used frequency ranges making channel selection much more
accurate.
Typical use cases that may require a Spectral Analysis as part of
a site survey would include stadiums, arenas, houses of worship,
facilities within or adjacent to emergency services, university and
other scientic research facilities, etc.
High Gain and Other 3rd Party Antennae
Higher gain antennae increase range only in low noise environments
with clear line-of-sight. This always will increase noise along with the
desired signal as they are not a lter. Careful network planning and
layouts are stronger solutions than high gain antennae.
Additionally always obey all local laws and regulations pertaining to
radio use.

Page 16
Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Check that the Apollo Bridge is receiving reliable power and that
all physical connections are rmly seated. When troubleshooting
“mysterious” failures, reduced range, or sudden signal issues the
solution often can be switching the power source.
If the network does not appear on your device then reset the Bridge
by power cycling it. Note the bridge takes approximately 90 seconds
to fully boot.
Conrm CRMX receivers are linked to the Base Station and not
another transmitter. Also conrm that the receivers are properly
connected to the lighting xture
Conrm that only the lights selected are the ones you want to control
before entering the Color Wheel screen in the App.
Conrm the lighting xture is set to the correct DMX address, correct
mode and bitrate for the patched prole.
Conrm hardwired lighting xtures are connected to receivers or DMX
cables via the DMX IN connector on the on the light.
Conrm your control software is set to transmit E1.31 sACN.
Conrm that the control device or console is connected to Apollo
Bridge WiFi network or LAN Ethernet port.
If the CRMX receiver shows a strong connection but the xture is not
responding to commands, cycle the power on the xture.
If none of these x the problem, insert a pin into the hole ‘Reset’
and hold for 10 seconds to factory reset the bridge. You will have to
re-provision the bridge as a new device after it reboots.
Tips
When Connecting with an iOS/iPadOS Device
• Turn o auto join for any networks this device has connected to
by going to SETTINGS > WI-FI >MY NETWORKS > (i) > AUTO
JOIN. iOS devices may jump from a local network in an attempt
to connect to the internet.
• Turn o Cellular Data by going to SETTINGS > CELLULAR >
CELLULAR DATA. Cellular data can sometimes interfere with
DMX stream, especially when using an iPad.
When using LumenRadio devices conrm that the receivers are linked
to the Base Station and not with another transmitter.
A clear line-of-sight between bridge and receivers increases
performance and range.
Use the antenna extension kit for better line-of-sight and separation
from WiFi antennae on the bridge.
Position antennae parallel on the same plane.
Reduce interference by placing Bridge away from other wireless
transmitters and routers, large groups of people, glass windows, WiFI
based video systems, 2.4GHz focus/iris transmitters and metal bars,
screens, or fences.
Change WiFi frequency or channel to avoid interference.
Test and get to know hardware before you use it on set.
Unlink receivers before pairing with bridge for rst time.
