DMX-ONÉ

DMX-ONÉ Signal Generator is a diagnostic tool designed to:
• Generate a DMX signal for trouble shooting

The DMX-ONÉ is primarily a diagnostic tool that generates a single
channel with DMX 512 Address capabilities for troubleshooting. As a
limited secondary application it can be used in place of a dimmer board
to control a small number of fixtures. The DMX- ONÉ can be used to
provide remote dimming control for the ParaBeam 400 and 200. This is
useful for checking the dimming performance of the product prior to
sending it out on a production.

DMX Image Series DMX Wall-O-Light DMX Multi-Flo DMX 4Bank*
The DMX ONÉ is used for remote control of DMX lamp switching on the products
pictured above. The unit can also provide a DMX chasing control of lamps
without the necessity of a dimmer board.
*The DMX ONÉ will operate the DMX 4Bank in the 4ft setting only. Reason:
need second DMX channel to control the 2ft setting. For 2ft control of the DMX
4Bank , recommend using a DMX dimmer board.
