User Friendly Lighting Control for Musicians, DJ’s, Artists & Performers

DMXIS opens up the exciting world of DMX lighting control to everyone.  It's a flexible, easy to use lighting control package, specifically designed for live performers in conjunction with dB Audioware.

DMXIS is the easy way to create exciting live light shows with your Mac OS or Windows based computer.  It was designed for live performers who want to run an automated light show while performing on stage.  The hardware is very easy to connect up, and the software extremely simple to learn and operate, while being flexible enough to control modern intelligent light fixtures.

Operation:

With DMXIS, you pre-program your entire light show in advance, letting you concentrate on your live performance.  You can manually step through the light show using a simple foot switch plugged into the DMXIS hardware interface.  Or, if you use audio software such as Logic, Ableton Live, Cubase or Mixmeister in your live show, you can use the DMXIS plug-in (VST or Audio Unit) to run your lights directly from your audio software!  This is incredibly effective, as your light show automatically synchronizes to the performance, even if you change tempo live.

Hardware:

The DMXIS hardware interface is a professional standard USB-DMX converter, capable of transmitting a full universe (512 channels) of DMX-512 data at a full 40Hz frame rate.  An on-board microprocessor performs all the DMX frame buffering – in other words, the interface itself is responsible for generating a steady and reliable DMX data stream.  This is far more reliable than some cheaper USB-DMX devices, which rely on your computer to generate the data.  To protect your computer from unintentional electrical surges (for example, if someone were to foolishly plug a phantom-powered mic cable into your interface) the DMXIS interface has full 1500V data and power isolation.

 

Software Features:

  • Hardware style user interface is quick to learn and easy to use
  • Controls any DMX-512 compatible light fixture, including traditional dimmer packs, LED fixtures, and intelligent lighting (eg – scanners & moving heads)
  • Create static looks, dynamic chases and moving effects with smooth cross-fades
  • Intuitive tempo-based approach, for perfect synchronization of lighting & music
  • Runs as a standalone program, VST plug-in, or Audio Unit plug-in*
