Wireless DMX512 Operation
For full wireless DMX512-A operation, please refer the manufacturer’s websites:
Wireless Solutions (W-DMX)
City Theatrical (SHoW DMX)
The Wireless DMX512 modules supplied by LSC for the MDR range of splitters are modified
receiver boards from the manufacturers listed above.
LSC do not supply wireless DMX512 transmitters. Please contact the above manufacturers
for the appropriate transmitter to work with the MDR splitter.
The Wireless DMX512 module can work as a sole DMX512-A input source for the splitter or
as a back-up source to the cable input, thus providing full redundancy for the DMX512-A
cable input. If both Wireless DMX512 and cable DMX512 are both receiving data, the cable
DMX512 input has priority. However, if there is a failure on the cable DMX512 input, the
MDR splitter has an Auto-Switching feature that seamlessly switches the input priority to
the Wireless input. When the failure on the cable DMX512 input has been rectified, the MDR
splitter will automatically switch back to the cable DMX512 input.
1. Connect Power, Input (if required), Thru (if required) and Outputs as per the DMX512
section above.
2. For Wireless Solutions W-DMX models, press and release the FUNCTION button to
synchronise the receiver to the transmitter device. This process may take up to 10
seconds to synchronise. Once synchronised the STATUS indicator will illuminate.
3. To unlink the receiver from the transmitter, press and hold the FUNCTION button until
the Status indicator goes off. The receiver is now not linked to the transmitter.
4. For City Theatrical SHoW DMX models, there are two buttons, a display and a Status
indicator. The display shows 4 menu choices, various settings and unit information. The
display will timeout after 10 seconds if no button activity is detected. The left and right
buttons are used to move through the menus and to adjust and select settings. The
Status indicator blinks Red to indicate operation and No Transmitter Detected, and
blinks Green to indicate operation and Transmitter Detected.
5. To set the receiver to respond to the SHoW DMX transmitter, you must select one of 64
different SHoW ID’s that corresponds to what the transmitter is set to. Press the MENU
button to activate the display. The display will show the current ID: IDxx. Press the
SELECT button to scroll to the required ID number. The STATUS indicator will blink
Green to indicate the receiver has synchronised to the transmitter.
6. The SHoW DMX also allows you to change the Power setting. You will not need to
change the setting as this will be set by LSC prior to the unit leaving the factory.
