Why DMXControl 3?

DMXControl 3 is a new tool for controlling DMX lighting fixtures, which has implemented advanced concepts that you will be thrilled:


  • The programming of the devices is at a very high level of abstraction. You take care not to DMX values ​​per se, but you think only in the device properties (color, dimmer, gobo, etc.).
  • You work mostly with groups of devices, on these you can apply prepared effects and fanning functionality. Then you get impressive light effects with minimal coding. In principle, every LED-bar/tube is already a group. Groups can be dynamically changed, and can also consist of various types of devices.
  • The new cue lists provide very flexible triggering and control capabilities. They combine scene lists, timecode lists, effect lists, etc. A cue can be extremely powerful, e.g. by controlling creatively multiple groups of devices with multiple properties on a dynamic effect. So you can setup very quickly a show.
  • DMXControl 3 supports team-oriented programming and execution of the show. By a separate kernel the stability and reliability of the control increases.

Installation

DMXControl 3 runs on all modern Windows systems. It is installed using a setup wizard that can also install the required additional software (DirectX,. NET). At program start two processes are started, see Lesson_1_Tut3.
