ADJ Introduces New DMX Control System
ADJ has announced the expansion of its range of DMX control solutions with the introduction of the mydmx GO tablet-based system. Designed for use by mobile entertainers and for installation in bars, leisure venues and small nightclubs, this revolutionary new lighting control system is extremely powerful but also incredibly easy to use, states ADJ.
ADJ’s mydmx GO combines a uniquely intuitive app-based control surface with a compact interface that connects wirelessly to an Apple, Android or Amazon Fire tablet and provides a standard 3-pin XLR output for connection to a lighting system. This mydmx GO app requires absolutely no programming but can be used to create stunning synchronized lightshows across any combination of DMX compatible lighting fixtures.
The app is supplied pre-programmed with a wide variety of easily customizable effects which can be used on any type of fixture. It features a distinctive layout that is built around two FX wheels – one for color chases and one for movement patterns – which each contain eight effect options. These can be selected independently, customized (by altering the color palette, speed, size, shift and fan) and combined to create a vast number of different unique effects which can then be stored for instant recall to one of 50 user-defined presets.
In addition to the main FX wheel controls, dedicated buttons are also included within the interface for GOBO, Iris, Zoom and Prism. There are also five ‘flash effect’ buttons that can be used to easily add impact when the music reaches a breakdown or climax.
A simple-to-use color wheel interface makes selecting specific hues extremely easy when working with fixtures that offer LED color mixing and a dedicated Strobe button with speed control is also included. A Master Dimmer fader has also been integrated into the main control interface, while Sub Masters for each individual fixture can be easily accessed through a pop-up panel.
With an extensive fixture library of 15,000+ profiles, the mydmx GO can be used to control all types of DMX lighting from any manufacturer, including moving heads, mirror scanners and LED pars. It features an extremely straightforward setup interface that makes it very easy to configure the app to control a specific rig.
“In today’s market, DMX-controlled lighting fixtures are well within the grasp of any working mobile entertainer or leisure venue,” comments ADJ USA’s National Sales Manager, Alfred Gonzales. “However, turning a rig full of lighting fixtures into a stunning lightshow requires the combination of a powerful control system and creative programming. For many entertainers and venues, who don’t have the time to learn DMX programming and then spend hours creating scenes and chases, this is the missing piece of the puzzle. But now the new ADJ mydmx GO package offers the perfect solution. A powerful control system pre-programmed with a variety of impressive effects that are easily customizable, it offers a unique solution that generates dazzling lighting effects from an incredibly easy to use app.”
