Frequently Asked Questions
Can this device function as both a transmitter and receiver at the same time?
No, it must be configured to operate in only one mode at a time: either as a transmitter to send the DMX signal or as a receiver to receive it.
What is the range of the wireless signal?
The range varies depending on the protocol used and environmental conditions. In EazyLink mode, the range is up to 15 meters indoors and 25 meters outdoors. In WDMX mode, the industry standard, the range can reach up to 500 meters with a direct line of sight and no obstructions, although actual performance may vary depending on walls and interference from other wireless signals.
Is it compatible with any DMX equipment?
Yes, it is compatible with any controller or light fixture that uses the standard DMX512 protocol via 5-pin XLR connectors.
How many DMX universes can it transmit?
The WTR10-5 is designed to transmit or receive a single complete DMX universe (512 channels).
What does FHSS technology mean?
FHSS (Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum) is a technology that causes the device to change frequencies thousands of times per second within the 2.4 GHz band. This allows it to automatically avoid interference from other Wi-Fi networks, Bluetooth, or other devices, ensuring a much more stable connection than fixed-channel wireless systems.
