DMX Control Simulation

The possibilities of a simple DMX control: an interactive DMX control simulation

DMX is a control standard to control devices such as light fittings. It is often used for dynamic lighting effects e. g. in stage and studio  but extends now to architectural lighting. It is a robust and fast protocol suitable for dynamic applications. In contrast to the DALI system where the signal runs along a bus the light fittings are daisy chained. The controller – or called master – is connected to the first fitting – also called slave – and then the slave is connected to the next fitting/slave and so on. That means the controller has one Out and every slave has one In and one Out connector. The Out connector from the last fitting in the chain must be terminated with a 120 Ohm terminator.

Modern RGB or RGB-W lighting offers fantastic possibilities for commercial and architectural applications, that reach their full potential when combined with a control method such as DMX. Try the DMX control simulation below at the end of the page.

The components to build a system  for one fitting are:

  • The DMX controller
  •  A power supply for the fitting, which feeds into a dimmer
  •  A 3 channel RGB or 4 channel RGB-W  dimmer with DMX input
  • The LED RGB or RGB-W light fitting

Alternatively:

  • The DMX controller
  • A 3 channel LED driver for RGB or a 4 channel LED driver for RGB-W (Dimmer and driver/power supply in one unit)
  • The LED RGB or RGB-W light fitting
