General Product Information
-
Basic / Dumb control over elements that use RGB lights that do not need individual control. Element examples would include:
-
MegaTrees
-
Arch/Fans
-
Flood lights
-
DMX addressing:
-
DIP Switch addressable directly on board (1 to 512 channels)
-
See chart in our Knowledge Base
-
When controller does not have a DMX data stream on the input (not hooked up to a DMX output device), the controller can be configured to output a test/demo sequence.
-
Six mounting holes in board (.137” or 1/8”) – on each corner and two in the center
-
Great for use in centralized controller elements
-
All Screw terminals for power input and output
-
LED Indicator for DMX signal
-
