Remote access with the Coemar DR-1.
After embarking on a successful new program of lighting fixtures over the past 12 months, Coemar have now turned their attention to developing a range of unique tools which could form a part of every lighting operator’s tool kit. The DR-1 is a remote device which virtually eliminates the need to gain access to fixtures when programming or servicing lighting equipment.

This diagnostic instrument allows the functions (and history) of a fixture to be monitored and interrogated from anywhere in a venue. Offering bi-directional communication with the fixtures (which ‘talk back’ to the device over a normal 3-core DMX cable),when inserted into the DMX 512A chain, the DR-1 will replicate all functions and information, which until now were accessed only via a fixture’s on-board display panel.

A single DR-1, for instance, will allow the operator to remote access as many as 250 fixtures, allowing him to alter the fixture’s DMX address, turn the lamp on (or off) or select master or slave operating modes of a number of Coemar fixtures) and record and monitor programs using PPF (on iSpot 150 and ProSpot 150). This negates the need for direct contact with the fixture’s display panel. The next stage of the product’s development will be to allow the operator to reset the parameters, modes and attributes of a fixture (as well as fault interrogate) over the telephone line. The DR-1 is now shipping and is available through the company’s worldwide distribution network.
