Reliable, feature-filled wireless DMX and dimming for lighting, props, costumes, and scenery.
I've had a small linear actuator on my trade-show table of tricks for years -- some of you may have seen it at USITT Stage Expo, or the ABTT Show in London. It's a little extendable "arm" that runs in and out using 2 channels of wireless DMX control. How do you make a...
Occasionally we encounter multiple customers -- usually neighbors, like the opera and the ballet in the same city -- who want the ability to share their RC4Magic equipment. They each own a few pieces, usually enough for what they do. But sometimes they need just one...
The wire gauge you use determines the maximum current you can safely pass through the circuit. Too small a wire size will heat up and -- in the worst possible scenario -- melt, burn a performer, or worse. The published maximum current rating for the DMX2dim is 15A...
No, you do not need a license. Our products are compliant with various regulations and we have obtained the necessary certifications for Canada, USA, Europe, Australia, and elsewhere. Some countries and jurisdictions accept one or more of these certifications, most...
When driving LEDs with RC4 dimmers, is a current-limiting resistor required? Or can the LEDs be connected directly to the dimmer outputs? If you are using LED tape, or other LED products that are not "raw components," the resistors are probably already there. If...
Yes! We do it all the time. When we demonstrate RC4 products at tradeshows, we often have a battery charger connected at the same time. We need to run all day for several days in a row, so it's very important we keep our batteries charged as much as possible. When a...

An excellent website with lots of great info about spread spectrum radio: Spread Spectrum Scene at http://sss-mag.com/ Wikipedia also has several excellent articles about spread spectrum: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spread_Spectrum...
Look closely at this image. Although it shows the original yellow-label RC4Magic, newer units connect exactly the same way. This configuration powers the DMX2dim dimmer from the Tiny Fogger battery. The 1/8-inch miniplug remote control port on the Tiny Fogger provides...
Question: We will be doing a show outdoors where there will be no control over Cell Phone use, and several Marine bands are in use. What problems could arise from the use of the RC4 System? Do I have to worry about any interference? Also, I am planning on using the...
