A DMX or Art-Net lighting controller is a hardware interface that sends, receives, or converts lighting control signals to operate fixtures in a live show or a stand-alone installation. A standard DMX universe carries 512 channels, and Art-Net carries that same DMX data over an Ethernet network. Chromateq manufactures a range of these controllers and interfaces, compared on this page by retail price, DMX and Art-Net capacity, connectivity, and stand-alone features.

  • DMX interfaces that perform both as connected peripherals and stand alone control devices that save programmed light shows to internal memory or microSD memory cards.
  • Controllers that not only send, receive, merge, split and record DMX signals, but also process triggers from RS232, Infrared, Dry contacts, calendar events, and more.
  • Master/Slave modes enable easily scalable configurations of multiple controllers.
  • Several models feature Art-Net to DMX decoding and Art-Net recording, and most recently, stand alone
  • Ethernet/LAN/WLAN connectivity.
