Using the AnyFi™ Wireless DMX Receiver
In addition to the unbridled thrill you already received the first time you turned on your
fixture, you’ll be delighted to know that your fixture is equipped to work seamlessly with our
own Skywire™ 2.4GHz wireless DMX products, as well as W-DMX™
wireless products.
Skywire™ AnyFi™ wireless DMX products feature 512 auto-
assigning frequencies in either 6 or 7 groups allowing multiple
systems to run simultaneously in the same space, completely
free of interference, with reliable wireless communication for over
1000 feet line-of-sight! Using the W-DMX™ wireless protocol in
AnyFi™, you can expect the same outstanding wireless range, very
easy setup, and leave any worries behind concerning loss of signal due to its built-in FHSS
technology (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum).
So first, if you would like to use Skywire™ wireless DMX protocol, you will need a wiCICLE®
transmitter, Lightcaster™ transceiver, or any Blizzard Lighting controller with this type of
built-in wireless transmitter. And if you plan on using W-DMX™ 2.4GHz wireless protocol, you
will need a W-DMX™ transceiver to broadcast the signal from your controller, such as our
Lightcaster W-DMX™.
Ready to move on? Well alrighty!
IMPORTANT
- If you are using Blizzard’s Lightcaster Any-Fi wireless transmitter in
W-DMX compatibility mode along with DMX control software like our Eclipse DMX
or Lucid products, you must set the MAB (Mark After Break) in the software to 30
microseconds (μS) to avoid potential signal timing issues.
