The DMXStreamer is the answer. This clever little device records any DMX512 stream for up to 2 days. You simply plug your lighting desk into the DMXStreamer, hit record and play your lighting sequence. You can then play it back whenever you need it using the in-built scheduler, triggering it via RS-232 or manually triggering with the DMXPlayBack Remote.

The in-built scheduler runs from a real-time clock, making it perfect for architectural installations, where running a show at the correct time of day is important. The DMXStreamer is also great for trade show applications, where the stand alone operation makes it quick and simple to set up.

Shows can be viewed, edited and stored using the free software package, Streamer Utilities, allowing you to backup your important shows on any Windows 98/2K/XP PC.

The DMXStreamer can also handle complex shows, thanks to the optional Compact Flash Expansion Module, which allows you to save shows and setup information onto a standard Compact Flash card.

The DMXPlayBack Mk2 allows you to record and store a light show, then have the unit play it back for you for as long as you like. Perfect for unattended light shows, or shows that run continuously, the DMXPlayBack Mk2 can store up to 12 complete light shows.

Each light show can consist of up to 500 static scenes. Scenes can be captured by taking a 'snapshot' of the DMX input on the rear of the unit, or can be built using the dedicated free software package ShowEditor 2.

Once your scenes have been captured or built, shows are built using ShowEditor 2, and uploaded to the DMXPlayBack Mk2 via a serial port on your PC. You can choose to run a single show every time you power up the unit, or you can trigger individual shows via RS-232. For manual control, simply add the DMXPlayBack Remote, which allows single-button access to all twelve shows. The remote can even be triggered via a TV remote!

The back-lit LCD display tells you which show is currently running, what scene it is up to, and how many times the show is set to run.

Features:

• Full DMX512 stream (512 channels)
• Data compression for extended show capacity
• Up to 12 different shows can be stored
• Total of 500 scenes per show
• Scene capture via DMX input
• Easy to use RS-232 control protocol
• Many show start up options
• Auto show loop (loop once -> no stop)
• LCD screen displays current show, scene and times
• Real Time control (changes on your Palm Pilot or PC appear on the DMX output too)
• USB to RS-232 adapter now available for use with computer systems without a serial comms port.

RS-232 Control:

Control the DMXPlayBack from any RS-232 capable device, such as a show control system, Hyper Terminal, basic stamp etc. More sophisticated control systems, such as AMX, have been used with multiple DMXPlayBack units outputting DMX512 pre-recorded scenes. RS-232 was used to control loading and fading of scenes.
