Avolites eDMX
-
The Avolites eDMX system transfers DMX data across a Wi-Fi radio link - completely removing the need for DMX data cables. Each transmit/receive pair of eDMX units relays data for one DMX universe at full speed, with ranges of up to 1 Km. eDMX units can be used as a free-standing device to receive data from "front of house" consoles, thus feeding all the data into an existing wired splitter, or it can be attached directly to an intelligent lighting fixture or a chain of fixtures. The deployment of eDMX is totally user definable - one per light, one per pipe or truss, or one just one to overcome the front of house data leap.
eDMX is compact enough to be housed within a moving light fixture, removing the necessity for any data cable. Once an 802.11 (Wi-Fi) network is set up, eDMX will automatically locate its data. eDMX works across multiple networks - each eDMX contains its own unique addressing protocol and each unit can be set to receive data from a different universe for multiple universe situations.
The eDMX System was used to send wireless DMX to each individual pod of the London Eye for the capital's high profile "All Eyes on London" event. LD Gary Collins used eDMX to stream 33 strings of DMX between the lighting console and fixtures located in each of the London Eye's 32 capsules and around its pontoon base.
