djrichie_t Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Anyone know of a cheap solution for wireless DMX (or indeed high baud rate tx/rx modules)? Seems to me that there is purpose made stuff out there, but only if you want to pay through the nose :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bix Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 One option is to use standard wireless LAN kit and work with artnet. I use Jands Vista from my tablet and use wLan to connect to a cheap Netgear AP and directly into an Artnet box which spits out DMX. Great as a riggers remote. As you said, the bespoke kit costs a fortune. I've been using Wireless Solution's kit for a while now (Swedish company) and it's pretty good. Uses GSM rather than wLan (more reliable). Talking 5/600 for Trans and 4/500 for receiver. Spotted this though, not sure about being show-safe though! http://www.bpesolutions.com/dmxproduct.html#anchor1454497 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bix Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Paul, isn't that just the same guts as the Wireless Solutions kit? The boards are the same. What's the price difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djrichie_t Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 I just been searching about on google (yes I know its 3am and I must go to bed) and just spotted a classic thread take a read Now I already have a pair of these units... I know what I will be doing in the workshop tomorrow (or today should I say) :( IIRC, DMX is a balanced digital signal at upto about 250Kbps. Basically its only for about 10 mad q scans, couple moving heads and a few other bits off a masterpiece 108 but its definately got me thinking experiment-wise!Might clean the signal up a bit using some simple schmitt buffer IC's for a solid digital signal, we will wait and see!

soundscu Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Have a look at my RC4Magic system -- it provides wireless DMX and wireless dimming in very small and inexpensive packages. We've just begun shipping worldwide, including the UK. We already have many satisfied customers in the USA and Canada.
