DMXcat makes it easy for anyone to control, analyse, or test any DMX lighting fixture
UK - City Theatrical will be demonstrating its latest technology at PLASA on stand H50 at Olympia.
DMXcat makes it easy for anyone to control, analyse, or test any DMX lighting fixture, whether it’s a simple LED PAR or a complex moving light. The system consists of a small hardware dongle and a suite of mobile applications. Together, they combine to bring wireless DMX and RDM control plus several other useful functions to the user’s smartphone.
The DMXcat solves the problem faced by all users of modern lighting equipment: How to turn on and test DMX lighting gear without using a complicated lighting console. The DMXcat works with both Android and iPhones.
SHoW DMX Multiverse can broadcast up to five universes of DMX data in the 2.4GHz band (for use worldwide) or four universes of data in the 900MHz band (for use in the Americas). These tiny circuit board mounted modules are particularly suited for lighting equipment manufacturers who are interested in adding wireless DMX to their products.
City Theatrical has rebranded its growing line of dimmers for LED tape into the QolorFLEX family, assuring users that all of its dimmers match perfectly with its ETL listed QolorFLEX LED tape.
On debut will be a new tiny dimmer, the QolorFLEX 2x4A SHoW DMX Multiverse Dimmer. Just 3.187” x .70” x .50” (81mm x 18.8mm x 12mm), it is small enough to fit in a 3/4” (19mm) tube and is designed for building into tiny spaces in props, candles, wands, costumes, and other special effects.
Utilizing our SHoW DMX Multiverse radio, we have miniaturized the circuit board to take the minimum space possible. Configuration settings can be made either through a computer (Windows or Mac) via a micro USB connection. No external power is required for this. Alternatively, configurations can be made via RDM through any RDM controller, such as City Theatrical’s DMXcat.
Moving Light Assistant V1.3 is the latest version of lighting designer Andrew Voller's application designed to document both the physical setup and programming information for moving light rigs commonly used in the entertainment industry. Large shows with many moving lights can be extremely difficult to document, and Andy wrote Moving Light Assistant to make that task possible.
Choreo eDin is a headless playback controller for DMX512 lighting systems compatible with all Pathway eDIN system enclosures, Pathport gateways and VIA switches.
