Hi Jackstone,
For 10 years, we have had parallel C4 and ColorKinetics (CK) systems, with the only connection being ON/OFF switching. Color control and scenes have been managed with a CK Keypad or computer through a CK iPlayer3 Controller.
But now, Domaudeo’s DMX Solution V2.1 offers everything we want for home lighting control, all through a C4 interface!! Including ColorChanger and ColorWheel.
1. Will V2.1 link directly to CK’s iPlayer3 or CK’s PDS60/150 power supplies/decoders?
2. If not, can I just replace the iPlayer3 with Engineered Solutions RS-232 Double Driven DMX Engine?
3. Also, can I connect more than one ES DD DMX Engine to C4 and drive it with DMX Solution V2.1? We have 2 separate light universes, one inside and one outside and play different shows or scenes on each. Regarding the output to the XLR5 and XLR 3 ports on the ES DD DMX Engine, from ES, “Currently the outputs are parallel copies of each other. However, each drive chip is connected to a separate pin in the internal processor, which means that future firmware updates could allow two universes of DMX to be driven independently. “
Some brilliant work from someone who also has a fulltime job! Also, I’ve read all 442 posts and there has been a lot of helpful input from others.
