DMXio: Set Receive/Transmit/Auto Modes
I. The DMXio has three modes: , and receive mode A. A transmitter is connected to a wired DMX data source at the XLR connectors and sends that data out on the air to receivers that are operating on the...
Connect RGB LED Tape to a W-DIM Wireless Dimmer (W-DIMm3)
I. Using RC4 W-DIMm3 with RGB LED tape A. This is a three channel unit B. The common on the vast majority of LED products is positive C. Many times, manufacturers use colors of internal wires to indicate the colors of LEDs 1. red wire= red LED 2. green wire= green LED...
Multiple Voltages, Just One Wireless Dimmer!
I. Low voltage batteries, called cells, can be connected in series to produce larger voltages. This is how most battery packs work, and it's what is happening in the battery compartment of most battery-powered consumer electronics and toys. A. Access to multiple...
Connect RGBx LED Tape to a DMX4dim
I. The process for connecting RGBx 4-channel LED tape is the same for all RC4 4-channel dimmers, regardless of the particular product family or model A. LEDs look best when dimmed using the Inverse Square Law curve -- ISL. This is different than conventional filament...
How to Use any RC4Magic Device as a Dongle
This video uses an older RC4 S3 device as an example, but the functionality remains the same in all new RC4 Magic devices. This information applies to 2.4GHz and 900MHz devices. I .Using an RC4Magicdevice as a dongle enables the unit to function as a data...
Configuration Using RC4 OneTouch™ Buttons (DMXpix)
This video is configuring the DMXpix with a Zero 88 Fat Frog console in wide mode with 48 channels using an RC4Magic DMXio and RC4Magic DMXpix (applicable to both the 2.4GHz system which is the example being used in this video as well as the 900MHz dual pixel string...
The 8 Modes in RC4 Series 3 Wireless Dimmers
I. There are various dimmer modes available in RC4 Series 3 Harmonized Design devices A .The process of selecting modes is the same for all RC4Magic, RC4Magic-900, LumenDim and W- DIM devices 1. There are small differences between 2 channel and 4 channel devices....
