The DMX lighting control software is a way to intelligently manage a lighting atmosphere which has various lighting devices. These devices are digitally operated through a controller. The lighting devices used in top notch stage performances, concerts, openings of events etc, are managed by the DMX lighting control software these days. What does this exactly mean? To understand this let us get far more aware of what DMX means. DMX is an acronym used for a Digital Multiplex. What does this exactly do and how is it hooked up to the different lighting parts in a disco?
The DMX lighting control software powered system has the following components which are 1) a DMX lighting control software controller, 2) a DMX cable, 3) a DMX decoder and 4) a lighting product. The DMX lighting control software transmits signals to the lighting parts hooked up to it through 512 channels. The lighting device acts based on the instruction given by the decoder which is in turn connected to the DMX lighting control software panel through the DMX cable. The lighting devices, these days are capable of taking, simultaneously instructions from five different channels. Let us consider an example of a lighting system and fully grasp this set up.
The DMX lighting control software that connects a moving electrical light in a discotheque might have various features like movement, lights, colors and depth of light etc., the DMX lighting control
software transmits 512 different signals at a time. But, say the moving light is set to accept the signal from channels 17, 18, 19, twenty wherein each and every number corresponds to the components like movement, number of lights to be switched on or off, color, depth respectively and then the corresponding numbers can only be interpreted by the DMX lighting control software decoder. All the rest of the channels sent through the DMX lighting control software controller, are ignored by the decoder setup in the moving light.
The DMX lighting control software transmits electronic signals 44 times in every second through all its 512 channels. Superb isn’t it? Well, that is the sophistication of this software. Lighting done this way gives wonderful effects and the visual glory is absolutely indefinable. The signal sent through 512 channels through DMX lighting wires is known as a DMX lighting control software universe. Once there is a demand of more than 512 channels for controlling a specific lighting gadget or a group of devices, one may go for several DMX control software universes.
For a good visual illustration of a DMX lighting control software in action consider a look at that excellent Youtube online video:
