Historical Archive: James David Smith makes his first appearance at USITT Stage Expo, demonstrating the original RC4 system.
This system, based on a large rack-mount transmitter, is no longer in production. Everything you see demonstrated in this video can now be done with the much smaller and less expensive RC4Magic system.
One feature of the original RC4 that continues to be appreciated by numerous users is the 0-10V control-voltage (CV) inputs. This allows, for example, the automation department to control devices like wireless brakes and solenoids, without interfering at all with DMX-controlled lamps being operated from the lighting console. We have recently re-introduced this functionality with the RC4Magic CS1 Control Surface.
