The MIX Controller for MINI MIX or SL1 MIX LED Lights from DMG LUMIERE is essentially the "brain" for these two fixtures and uses several methods to precisely adjust light intensity and color. The unit has three color modes: White Mode, Color Mode, and Gel Mode. White is a simple CCT mode that allows you to vary color temperature from 1700 to 10,000K in 50K increments with full Magenta/Green control. Gel Mode allows you to select from 186 Rosco gel filters, as well as additional gels stored in the unit's memory. Limited Hue and Saturation adjustments are possible. Color Mode contains HSI control (Hue, Saturation, and Intensity) that adds the ability to select a white base between 3200 and 5600K, while in DMX Mode the CCT base is expanded to 1700 to 10,000K, and combined with Hue and Saturation allows the creation of any color in the spectrum. Dimming is available in all modes via 4 presets: 25, 50, 75, and 100%. There's also a folder that contains effects such as Emergency Vehicle, Paparazzi, and Firelight.
The versatile Controller has multiple control options, too. Of course, you can make adjustments locally on the unit, but you can also do it remotely from a console with onboard DMX or wirelessly via the LumenRadio TiMo FX transceiver. You can also control the unit via the ArtNet protocol over the internet or a LAN network with Wi-Fi or an RJ45 connector. Most manufacturers would stop there but DMG has developed the myMIX app for iOS and Android that can control up to 14 controllers simultaneously via Bluetooth. The MIX Controller will accept optional V-Mount or Gold Mount batteries or a DMG power supply.
DMX 512 Wired and Wireless
DMX512 is a worldwide standard communication protocol for the film and entertainment industry. There are 2 ways to communicate DMX to the MIX controller: wired DMX (XLR 5-pin) or Wireless DMX (LumenRadio TiMo FX RDM).
Bluetooth with myMIX App
MIX can be controlled remotely via Bluetooth with the myMIX app, which can control up to 14 controllers simultaneously. It's available for iOS and Android.
ArtNet
ArtNet is a communication protocol for transmitting the DMX512-A lighting control protocol and Remote Device Management (RDM) protocol over the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) of the Internet Protocol suite. It enables lights to be controlled over standard internet or LAN network (via Wi-Fi or RJ45 connector).
