Wireless DMX
For wireless data transmission you need a DMX-controller, a wireless sender and a wireless receiver or
devices with wireless receiver, respectively.
If a device with wireless receiver is connected with a DMX-controller via cable, the device will be controlled
by the cabled controller and not by the wireless transmitter.
Please note:
Never connect a cabled controller if the device with wireless receiver is controlled by the
wireless transmitter! Otherwise danger of interferences.
The wireless receiver has an internal memory function. If the device is switched off and on again, the
receiver automatically logs into the transmitter.
