Recent advances in DMX512 and RDM (Remote Device Management) provide a wealth of benefits to the industry. Unfortunately these developments in technology are often accompanied by some products that are not quite compatible. DMX-Fix is the solution from Artistic Licence. It is a combined DMX512 splitter and data filter. The product automatically removes any ‘clever’ information from the data stream, ensuring compatibility with older or out of specification fixtures and dimmers.
The DMX512 input is optically isolated and the product offers five independent DMX512 outputs.
The product automatically corrects:
• Strips all non standard start codes, passing only lighting level data.
• Corrects stop bits ensuring output always has 2 stop bits.
• Corrects short or long break times.
• Stabilises inter-slot delay.
• Automatically retransmits on loss of data.
• Retimes Mark-after-Break.
Perhaps most importantly, the product has an indicator to show when it is ‘fixing’!
The product is mounted in a robust aluminium extruded case with optional truss mounting adapter. DMX-Fix is powered by an external power supply of 9-24V DC.
