4. CRMX user guide e LumenRadio Lighting control via wireless is nothing new there are plenty of options Trouble is everyone is using the same narrow band of frequencies and not just for lighting Your competition are wireless microphones in ear monitors Wi Fi ZigBee Bluetooth devices and many more often at the same time To achieve true wireless link reliability you need an ingenious approach CRMX Cognitive Radio MultipleXer provides the answer Using our Cognitive Coexistence system at its heart CRMX continually monitors the whole frequency band to iden tify all problem areas and dynamically shifts its operation The result is that CRMX neither disturbs nor is disturbed by other systems it totally coexists even in the most crowded areas CRMX units use high frame refresh rates and intelligent error correction routines to fix problems before they ever become apparent CRMX units are so efficient that they can repair most corrupted or mistimed inputs from other devices a kind of DMX washing machine to clean up dirty signals CRMX units are available as single transmitters and receivers which support DMX 512A RDM or as a dual transmitter which can send two DMX RDM universes and additionally supports ArtNet and Streaming ACN via its Ethernet connection As a useful bonus the dual unit can also convert between Art Net Streaming ACN and standard DMX RDM via the wireless and wired connections
