DMX LIGHTS IN YOUR IPAD
DMX fixture library
Access hundreds of fixtures in our cloud library or create your own with our integrated factory. Then, use Art-Net or sACN to control real time DMX output (you need DMX interface, for instance ENTTEC ODE).
A DMX monitor console is integrated into Photon. You can visualize in one click what it is sending to your network.
Which hardware should I use ?
In order to wirelessly control your lights, Photon requires the use of an Ethernet (or WIFI) to DMX adapter. Photon uses Art-Net or sACN, the leading open industry standards.
The iPad must then be connected via Wifi or Ethernet (Ethernet need adapter for iPad) to your network.
MIDI Inputs
External triggers can interact with your fixtures, presets and sequences. Connect external wireless and wired MIDI controllers : keyboards, pads, timecoders or even softwares and other apps. *Photon+ only
