beamZ Pro WTR10 - 2.4GHz DMX Wireless Hybrid Transceiver
The beamZ Pro WTR10 is a hybrid wireless DMX transceiver designed for lighting professionals seeking to eliminate the complexity and limitations of cabling. This compact and robust device offers a reliable and efficient solution for creating wireless DMX lighting setups, ideal for live events, fixed installations, and mobile productions. Operating in the universal 2.4 GHz frequency band, the WTR10 ensures license-free operation worldwide, eliminating the need for special permits.
One of its most outstanding features is its hybrid capability, allowing it to function as both a transmitter (TX) and a receiver (RX) with extremely simple one-button setup. Inside, a powerful 32-bit ARM processor ensures fast and precise DMX signal transmission, minimizing latency. To guarantee a stable and interference-free connection, even in environments saturated with wireless signals, the WTR10 uses FHSS (Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum) technology, which changes frequency up to 1800 times per second, avoiding conflicts with Wi-Fi networks and other devices. Its integrated power supply eliminates the need for external adapters and simplifies installation by connecting directly to the mains via a professional power connector.
Main Features
The WTR10 transceiver is designed for professional performance and maximum ease of use. Its aluminum chassis not only provides exceptional durability to withstand the demands of touring and rentals, but also helps dissipate heat efficiently. Dual compatibility with WDMX and EazyLink protocols makes it a versatile tool, seamlessly integrating into existing wireless lighting ecosystems. One-button setup allows for synchronization of units in seconds, drastically optimizing setup times.

Benefits for the Lighting Professional
Integrating the WTR10 into any lighting project translates into immediate advantages. The main one is design freedom and quick setup, eliminating the need to run meters of DMX cable, which in turn reduces the risk of tripping hazards and connection failures. For rental companies and touring technicians, its robustness and operational simplicity mean less setup time and greater reliability during events. The ability to work with different wireless standards ensures that the equipment will not become obsolete and can communicate with a wide range of devices from different manufacturers.
Use Cases
This transceiver is the perfect tool for a wide variety of professional applications. In live event productions such as concerts and festivals, it allows for the control of lighting fixtures on hard-to-reach trusses or complex stages without relying on long cable runs. In fixed installations such as theaters, nightclubs, or exhibition halls, it simplifies lighting integration and enables quick reconfiguration. It is also ideal for architectural lighting of buildings or monuments, where cabling can be visually intrusive or logistically impossible to install.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean that it is a "hybrid" transceiver?
This means that a single unit can function as a transmitter (sending the DMX signal from the control console) or as a receiver (receiving the signal at the luminaire or truss), depending on its configuration. This versatility reduces the amount of equipment needed in inventory.
How can interference with other 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks be avoided?
The WTR10 uses a technology called FHSS (Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum). The device constantly scans the radio spectrum and automatically hops between free frequencies up to 1800 times per second, allowing it to avoid interference from Wi-Fi networks, Bluetooth, and other devices operating in the same band.
What is the range of the wireless signal?
The range depends on the protocol used and environmental conditions (obstacles, interference). With the EazyLink protocol, the range is approximately 15 meters indoors and 25 meters outdoors. When using the WDMX protocol, the range can be extended significantly, reaching up to 500 meters with a direct line of sight and ideal conditions.
Is it compatible with any DMX lighting equipment?
Yes, it connects to any device with a standard DMX input or output via its 3-pin XLR connectors. For wireless connectivity, it's compatible with any other device using beamZ's WDMX or EazyLink protocols.
