Use Cases
The WDMX-TR512 is the perfect tool for a wide variety of professional applications:
-
Event and Tour Production: Ideal for rental companies that need to quickly and reliably set up and take down complex lighting systems at concerts, festivals, and tours.
-
Architectural Installations: Allows lighting of building facades, bridges or monuments where wiring is impractical, expensive or unsightly.
-
Theatres and Auditoriums: Facilitates the reconfiguration of stage lighting and the placement of spotlights in hard-to-reach positions without the need for new cable runs.
-
Film and Television Studios: Contributes to a safer and tidier working environment by eliminating cables from the floor and speeding up lighting configuration changes.
-
Corporate Events and Exhibitions: Provides a clean and professional solution for trade fair stands and conference halls, where aesthetics are essential.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to configure anything for it to work?
No, the device is designed to be "plug and play". Simply connect it to a USB power source and sync it with other compatible devices by pressing a button.
Can it function as both a transmitter and a receiver?
Not simultaneously. Each WDMX-TR512 unit must be configured to operate as either a transmitter or a receiver, but not both at the same time. At least two units are required to establish a link (one as a transmitter and one as a receiver).
Which other wireless DMX systems is it compatible with?
It is fully compatible with systems using the industry-standard W-DMX protocols from Wireless Solution and LumenRadio, as well as with other products in the Triton Blue range.
What actual range can I expect in an environment with walls and obstacles?
The 500-600 meter range is specified for a direct line of sight. In environments with obstacles such as walls or large crowds, the range will be reduced. However, its FHSS technology is designed to maintain the strongest possible connection even under less than ideal conditions.
Can it be powered from the USB port of a light table or a computer?
Yes, it requires a standard 5V and 350mA power supply, which can be supplied by most USB ports on computers, lighting consoles, or any conventional USB power adapter.
