ADJ releases myDMX-RM interface
- Details
The myDMX-RM is a 19” rack mountable interface that connects a computer running the myDMX 3.0 software via USB to a DMX-controllable lighting rig through a standard XLR connection. Out of the box, the unit allows use of myDMX 3.0 Express Mode, which includes all of the standard features needed to setup, programme and control a lightshow. It is then possible to upgrade the software (via store.dmxsoft.com) to unlock advanced features such as a 3D Visualizer, MIDI control and ‘Easy Remote’ smartphone / tablet control app).
Through the software it is also possible to assign lighting programmes to each of the myDMX-RM’s 16 trigger buttons. These programmes are then stored on the device itself and can be recalled, simply by pushing the button, even if the computer running myDMX 3.0 has been disconnected. This makes the unit suitable for use in situations where it isn’t possible to have a lighting operator constantly on hand, for example in a bar, school or event venue.
It is also suitable for use in venues such as lounge clubs where a lighting operator will arrive part way through the day’s operating hours. The venue manager can easily select a pre-programmed ‘warm-up’ Scene, using one of the myDMX-RM’s trigger buttons, when the venue opens. Later, when it’s time to transition from a bar atmosphere to full-on dancing, the lighting operator can hook up their laptop to the interface and seamlessly assume full control of the rig.
