DMX Guide

DMX stands for Digital Multiplex and is a system that allows multiple fixtures (lights) to be affected by a single controller (Ipad in our case).

There are a few key things to know about our DMX system:

• Under no circumstance should the control boxes by the iPad be touched.

• Under no circumstance should anything in the ipad setup ever be unplugged. It will cause networking issues and cause the system to go down. 

• The LED Aputure lights have a wireless connection to the system and thus can be moved around, however, they should not be unplugged.

• Each dimmer box (the black boxes in the grid) can handle a maximum of 2500W between all 4 outlets. Each dimmer box corresponds to one fader on the iPad. This means all 4 outlets on each dimmer box share being controlled by one fader. These dimmer boxes are for tungsten lights only. No LEDs or Kinos can be plugged into them.  

• The dimmer boxes should not be unplugged, turned off, or have any of their settings changed. 

• To power down the lights at the end of class, please just power them off at the faders on the ipad. Do not turn them off at the breakers.
