The DMX Box is part of the Realix ERC system, designed to control DMX-compatible lighting and effects within an escape room. It allows integration of dynamic lighting, strobes, and other DMX-controlled devices.
How the DMX Box Works
- Provides one DMX universe, supporting up to 512 DMX channels.
- Communicates with DMX lighting and effects equipment, allowing control over brightness, color, and effects.
- Auto-discoverable, meaning it is automatically detected and configured in the Designer when connected.
Each DMX Box controls one DMX universe. If more channels are required, additional DMX Boxes can be added to the system, each managing a separate universe.
Hardware and Configuration
While the DMX Box is logically a standalone device, it shares its hardware with the SBUS Box. Both are housed in a single SBUS/DMX unit, with a switch that allows selection between SBUS and DMX functionality. In the Designer, this device will appear either as an SBUS Box or a DMX Box, depending on the selected mode.
