Introduction
Welcome to the large family of users of LumenRadio’s world-leading wireless DMX system. We hope
that you will enjoy your brand new devices. We, at LumenRadio, have tailored this wireless DMX system
to deliver reliability at its best. No matter if you’re using them at a night-club, a community theatre or
on the set of a feature film, you should be able to trust its cable-like reliability, but without the hassle
of cables.
Wireless DMX in a nutshell
Wireless DMX can be used in many dierent setups, may it be one single universe being transmitted
from one point over a distance to one receiver. This is what is called point-to-point, and is a common
scenario when shooting wireless DMX over a distance where cable is not possible. The cable is simply
replaced with a wireless cable with a fixed latency of 5 ms.
Figure 1: One DMX universe in a point-to-point setup
It is simple to just add more receivers to a universe of wireless DMX to create a wireless splitter, where
the same DMX data is outputted with a synchronisation of less than 0.1 ms. This is what is called a
point-to-multipoint setup.

Figure 2: One universe in a point-to-multipoint setup
It is possible to have multiple universes being transmitted simultaneously in what’s called a multipoint-
to-multipoint setup. Simply link each receiver to the transmitted universe you want it to output. The
system will automatically exchange encryption keys and other security parameters. The system will
coordinate the frequency usage to avoid collisions so that multiple universes can be transmitted
simultaneously.

Cognitive coexistence
Cognitive Coexistence is LumenRadio’s patented technology for real-time adaptive frequency hopping.
It’s the foundation of our CRMX
®
technology and the main reason why we are perceived as the most
reliable and resilient wireless DMX system on the market.
CRMX systems automatically scan and adapt to the RF environment 1500 times per second. If distur-
bances are detected, the system will move to frequencies that are currently not disturbed. This is how
the cable-like reliability can be achieved, trusted by users in the most demanding sets.

Compatibility
There has been two major wireless DMX systems on the market for a while - CRMX
®
and W-DMX
TM
.
They have historically not been fully compatible due to dierent technologies being used. But CRMX
receivers have been able to receive the W-DMX G3 protocol. However, your new CRMX Aurora or CRMX
Luna can be operated in dierent modes when in transmitter mode;
1. CRMX - transmit CRMX data to compatible receivers.
2. W-DMX G3 - transmit W-DMX G3 protocol.
3. W-DMX G4S - transmit W-DMX G4S protocol.
For W-DMX receivers, please use the W-DMX G3 mode for maximum compatibility. Note: This mode can
also be used with CRMX receivers, but security and DMX fidelity is not as good as when running CRMX
mode.

When operated as receivers, CRMX Aurora and CRMX Luna will automatically detect and link using the
protocol used by the transmitter at the time of linking.
