W-DMX BLACK BOX OUTDOOR TRANSCEIVER IP65

W-DMX Black Box Outdoor Transceiver is an IP65-rated version that works in any conditions, from -5° to 125°F (-20° to 50°C). Built-in AC/DC accepts a 90-250V universal power supply and standard RP-SMA antenna for FCC regulations. It is able to transmit wireless with up to 19 miles (30km) between transmitter and receiver. It is also possible to link a transmitter and receiver together to create a virtual repeater and avoid transmission problems such as building height differences in city areas. It can handle up to 512 DMX channels with true plug and play. The system can be used between console and first fixture and cable link to all other units connected in the same universe or “point to multi-point” where each or several fixtures have a receiver. A complete set of accessories with different antennas and cables is available to complete the range. Standard finish is black, but custom finishes are also available.

WARP/M

WARP/M is the automated version of the manual WARP fixture. The motorized yoke links into the Warp ring controls, providing automation of all other functions including focus and zoom, shutter insertion, rotation, and gobo rotation.

The shutters and gobos can be continuously rotated, offering a wide range of potential effects. The fixture is controlled by any DMX lighting desk and is also Ethernet (ACN) ready. Setup can be performed via a standard PC with an ordinary web browser. All features are formatted as web pages, so no additional control software is required. The whole unit is extremely quiet, with no fan noise, no thermal noise, and quiet adjustments via the ring controls. The motorization unit provides data outlets for the direct attachment of DMX color changers.
