Introduction
Zero Wire DMX is designed to allow users to construct a wireless DMX network and enable
the use of DMX devices where DMX over wire is not possible.
Zero Wire DMX is designed to allow people everywhere to use IEEE standard of 802.11
Wireless Ethernet as a transport mechanism for USITT DMX 512.
The construction of a simple wireless network allows users to send their DMX (within the
constraints of the wireless network) instantly with no response difference from that of using
cables.
As the standard for 802.11 differs for countries across the world users must familiarise
themselves with the available local frequencies and work within local regulations.
Wireless Ethernet 802.11 systems can cause interference to and receive interference from
amongst other things:
•
Other Wireless Ethernet Systems
•
Microwave
Ovens
•
Bluetooth enabled devices
•
Some football stadium floodlight ballasts
•
Cordless Analogue and Digital Telephone Systems
We therefore recommend only using wireless devices where it is impractical or impossible to
run traditional cable systems.
Note
The hardware and software were designed for Cooper Controls by dAFTdATA Ltd.
dAFTdATA have considerable experience within the IT networks world as well as lighting
industry working in the fields of design and installation.
