Overview
Installation
The DMX-Recorder represents the professional variant of an DMX admission and/or a playback unit in our portfolio.
Like that it is simply to handle also for users without technical previous knowledge.
512 DMX channels can be taken up. Its operational area are smaller exhibition booths, demo areas, shows, fixed installations, restaurants, bar and clubs, in order to call only a small selection.
With the DMX-Recorder we have created a device equipment, which is very versatile applicable and both in the professional illuminating engineering as well as for the end consumer a consistent solution offers its installation into another light to move again and again new.
In the display of the DMX-Player the individual functions of the equipment can be served clearly.
Connectivity
Connect the DMX IN and (if necessary the DMX output as well as the LED outputs you are going to use).
Inspect the DMX-Recorder immediately after unpacking for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Damaged equipment should not be used. If the DMX-Recorder is moved from a cold to a warm environment then a period of three hours should be allowed to pass before use. That allows the evaporation of any condensation which may have formed as a result of the temperature change.
Power up the DMX-Recorder by connecting the mains input connector. After approximately one second the unit is ready for use. Do not operate the DMX-Recorder in direct sunlight. Do not use aggressive solvents to clean the DMX-Recorder. Heavy soiling may be removed using a mild detergent.
