billystag Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Has anyone used either W-DMX, SHoW DMX or Lumen Radio CRMX Control?Are they reliable?Any experiences will be gratefully received.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumbles Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Show DMX for me, for both range and ruggedness inside a theatre, though I haven't used any of them outdoors so couldn't how they'd suit that environment. But if you're looking for wireless control or practicals then the Hell DMX all the way over wireless DMX and local dimmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonhole Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Just to add another option into the pot, Cooper Controls also produce ZeroWire CRMX systems - which Stage Electrics used on the London Eye for the New Year celebrations this year.

I am actually going to be using the GSD liteware stuff in a warehouse - so I only have the option of using the originally mentioned protocols. This is because they are battery powered and wireless, but they only have certain protocols built in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbuckley Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I use this stuff from AliExpress for remoting stuff I cant or dont want to wire to, and it just works. It uses the 2.4GHz band, but there are several spot frequencies it can use, so you can coordinate with your WiFi. I've got apair of the boxes with the LCD displays, and several PCB receivers. The big advantage of this manufacturer is that they do these little PCBs that output proper DMX512, and interwork with the boxed kit, so one can go build small things with wireless control. I have tried a pair of the boxes for straight cable replacement, and it does work quite happily, however, there is several tens of milliseconds latency in the link. The latency is unnoticable on fades and blackouts with conventionals, almost noticable on conventionals bumps, but very obvious if you've got something with instant response (LED, strobes etc) and some are wired and others are wireless responding a fraction of a second later! So irresepective of whose wireless DMX you get, if latency is important in your application, try the link out and see if its acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I use W-DMX from Wireless Sweden. I visit Franfurt and I was supprised to see that A brand movingheads sold their equipment with or without W-DMX.And Wireless Sweden was the most used. They have a lot of OEM modules. So if you buy W-DMX have a good look what you wanna do with it. I use it when the distance is more than 20m and with pax 1500 in a hotel with Wifi.WS uses spread spectrum and has no influence from Wifi on the same freq. band.
