Overview
The DIN-GWDL is a gateway for Crestron light fixtures and Crestron compatible third-party
light fixtures. It provides full control of all connected lighting loads. The DIN-GWDL is configured
using the Crestron Home™ Setup application and controlled using a Crestron Home system.
The DIN-GWDL-SPLTR expands the capability and flexibility of the DIN-GWDL by providing four
additional outputs for Crestron light fixtures and Crestron compatible third-party light fixtures.
Crestron Home Color UI
Use the Crestron Home Color UI to easily control the tunable white and full color lighting loads.
Adjust hue, saturation, intensity and color temperature. Create scenes to set the mood for
entertaining or ensure the optimal setting for a professional conference call. Set lighting
schedules or implement Circadian lighting rhythms.
Circadian Rhythm Lighting Control
Sunlight has a predictable rhythm of color temperature and intensity. Connected light fixtures
can be synchronized with this natural rhythm.
SolarSync™ Sensor Compatibility
Match outside light using an outdoor SolarSync photosensor (GLS-LCCT, sold separately).
SolarSync communicates the outside color temperature to Crestron Home in real-time and
tunes your indoor lighting accordingly.
DMX-C
Built on the DMX512 standard, DMX-C offers the speed and reliability of a traditional DMX
system with the seamless and consistent user experience of the Crestron Home OS. When
connected to a DIN-GWDL, DMX-C lighting fixtures are auto-discovered, auto-addressed, and
treated as native Crestron devices with a consistent and intuitive interface.

Supports up to 85 Compatible Light
Fixtures
The DIN-GWDL has two DMX-C outputs, each of which supports up to 32 directly connected
Crestron light fixtures and Crestron compatible third-party light fixtures, for a total of 64
directly connected fixtures. Each added DIN-GWDL-SPLTR adds four additional DMX-C outputs,
each of which supports up to 32 directly connected Crestron light fixtures and Crestron
compatible third-party light fixtures. The DIN-GWDL with a DIN-GWDL-SPLTR can support a
total of 85 Crestron light fixtures and Crestron compatible third-party light fixtures.
Fast Commissioning
Connect Crestron light fixtures and Crestron compatible third-party light fixtures quickly with
the RJ-45 adapters. Verify the system immediately by testing lighting loads with local controls.
Once connected to a Crestron Home processor through a DIN-GWDL, DMX-C allows for lighting
loads to be automatically addressed and discovered using the fixture identify tool.
