Is W-DMX compatible with other systems on the market?
Today there is no standard for wireless transmission of DMX signals
and there is no possibility of mixing different brands of wireless
DMX solutions in a system. For example, you cannot use a Martin
®
Wireless DMX-512 - Pro Diversity
®
with Interactive Technologies
®
CueLink
®
even though they use a similar type of physical radio
transmission standard. Because of this, no wireless-DMX brand
today is compatible with another.
Is W-DMX built on Bluetooth
®
?
No. It is built on standard radio components with a GSM influ-
enced radio system protocol. Bluetooth
®
lacks the range needed.
Is it plug and play?
Yes. W-DMX doesn’t need any configuration for IP address and
netmask like WLAN. W-DMX is “plug and play”.
Is it made for use outdoors?
Yes. Receivers, transceivers, repeaters and boosters are all avail-
able in outdoor versions, all with an IP65 rating.
What are the differences between the indoor and out-
door models?
The outdoor units would use a different antenna. And, of course,
the outdoor units are rated IP65 weatherproof.
What is IP65?
IP65 is a rating of how weather resistant an item is. IP65 means
that the device is totally protected against dust and protected
against low pressure jets of water from all directions.
What is the difference between the standard and the pro
models?
The pro models of the W-DMX have a built in UPS that will run
them for up to 2 hours if power is interrupted. In the future, the
pro models will also support ACN and Art-Net, etc.
Do the transmitters and receivers have built-in power
supplies?
All units have built-in universal power supplies that can operate
from a supply range of 90-250VAC, 50-60Hz (except the R-512
Micro which requires a 12-24VDC external supply). The pro models
of the transmitter and receiver have a built-in UPS that will power
them for up to 2 hours if power is interrupted.
Will the signal go through solid objects?
Yes, the W-DMX signal will penetrate walls, glass, metal and most
objects. One thing that will interrupt the signal is people. Antennas
should be above audiences to ensure reliable operation.
Will other electronics and other W-LAN users interfere
with it?
No, it is not affected by cell phones. WiFi, W-LAN, bluetooth or
any other devices.
