INTRODUCTION

Wireless lighting control with iOS and Android devices is right at your fingertips with the iDMX® CORE WiFi and W-DMXTM box. The battery-operated device has been specifically designed to work with the iDMX® controller app from Cameo. It contains a W-DMXTM transmitter with a range of up to 300 m, working in the 2.4 GHz range. 3 and 5-pin DMX inputs and outputs enable use with DMX lighting consoles and wireless control of conventional DMX spotlights via WiFi. The powerful internal lithium-ion battery from LG lasts for up to 8 hours. Operating time of the iDMX® CORE can be extended as required with external power banks. An integrated battery management system protects the battery against overcharging and deep discharge and ensures long battery life. Mains adapter/charger with USB cable, 2 x DMX Y-cables and a soft carrying case are supplied.

CONNECTIONS, OPERATING AND DISPLAY ELEMENTS

6 INPUT 5V DC / 1.6A 1 2 3 4 5 6 DMX I/Q

1 INPUT

Micro-USB socket for charging the internal battery (charging voltage 5V DC/1.6A, power supply and USB cable included) and connecting a power bank (external 5V battery pack). If the internal battery is charging, the battery charge status LED flashes approximately every 2 seconds. When the battery is fully charged, the flashing stops and the green LED remains constantly lit.

2 ON/OFF BUTTON

Press and hold the button for approximately 3 seconds to turn the device on or off.

3 MULTI-FUNCTION BUTTON

W-DMX: To pair with a W-DMX receiver or W-DMX-compatible spotlights, activate W-DMX on the receiver and reset the receiver module (follow instructions for the W-DMX receiver). Press and hold the W-DMX button on the iDMX CORE transmitter for about 3 seconds to automatically pair with the W-DMX receiver. Repeat the procedure to pair the iDMX CORE with other previously paired W-DMX receivers. The connection to the already paired devices remains unaffected.

Conversion of the signal source: To convert the signal source from WiFi to DMX and vice versa, press the button 2 times in quick succession (double click). The blue or red indicator LED displays which of the two signal sources is enabled.

4 DISPLAY LEDs

Dual LED (green/red): indicates the charge status of the battery. If the battery is charging, the LED flashes approximately every 2 seconds. When the battery is fully charged, the flashing stops and the green LED remains constantly lit. If the battery charge status is between 50% and 100%, the LED lights up green. If the battery charge status is between 20% and 50%, the LED lights up orange, and if it is less than 20%, it lights up red. Connect the charger or a power bank immediately.

Blue LED: indicates WiFi status. If WiFi is selected as signal source and data is being transferred from the iDMX controller app, the LED lights up constantly. If the LED flashes about every 2 seconds, no data is being transferred from the iDMX app via WiFi. After turning on the device, the blue LED flashes for a short time at a frequency of about 3 Hz (rapid flashing), indicating that the WiFi parameters are being initialised.

Red LED: indicates DMX status. If DMX is selected as the signal source and there is a DMX signal, the LED lights up constantly. If the LED flashes approximately every 2 seconds, there is no DMX signal. After turning on the device, the red LED flashes for a short time at a frequency of about 3 Hz (rapid flashing), indicating that the network parameters are being initialised.

Orange LED: indicates W-DMX status. After the pairing process with a W-DMX-compatible receiver has been started (see point 3), the orange LED flashes for 5 seconds at a frequency of about 3 Hz. After 5 seconds, the LED lights up constantly. When unpairing a W-DMX receiver, the LED flashes once per second (unpairing via iDMX® controller app).

5 DMX I/O

Connection socket for a DMX IN/OUT Y-adapter cable (1 x 3-pin version and 1 x 5-pin version included).

6 WIFI AND W-DMX ANTENNAS

Removable screw-in antennas for sending and receiving W-DMX and WiFi signals.

FACTORY RESET: To reset the device to factory settings, press and hold buttons #2 and #3 simultaneously for about 10 seconds.

PLEASE NOTE:

When operating the iDMX CORE WiFi to W-DMX converter in the vicinity of a 2.4 GHz WLAN network, interference may occur on the WLAN network. In the event of this happening, move to a 5 GHz WLAN network if possible.
