DMX Controllers, DMX512-A is
an EIA-485 based
communications protocol that
is most commonly used to
control stage lighting and
effects. DMX512 was originally
intended as a 'lowest common
denominator' protocol for use
between interfaces supporting
proprietary protocols.
However, it soon became the
primary method for linking not
only controllers and dimmers,
but also more advanced
fixtures and special effects
devices such as fog machines
and moving lights. DMX512 is
unidirectional and does not
include automatic error
checking and correction, so it
is not safe to use for
applications involving life
safety, such as controlling
pyrotechnics or laser lighting
display where audience or
performer safety is involved.
MIDI is sometimes used for
this task. |
