BE-DMX wireless
BE-DMX wireless is a time-tested technology (in professional use since 2006) to transmit DMX512-1024ch. over Bluetooth (class1). Unlike many people mistakenly think, Bluetooth provides most reliable wireless link, with the standard transmission distance of 100 meters at the regulated in most countries 100mW output power. The distance can be substantially increased if you apply an antenna with gain power higher than 2dB, which will subsequently add up the transmission output power. Use of harmonized wireless interface makes BE-DMX wireless worldwide compliant .
BE-DMX wireless employs Adaptive Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum (AFHSS). The radio signal is transmitted by rapidly switching a carrier among many frequency channels (1600 hops/sec) within the license free 2.4GHz ISM band and uses only the “good” (vacant) frequencies and avoids the "bad" (crowded) frequency channels. While data exchange, the transmitter requests each of the linked receivers, and upon data acquisition, the receivers reply to the transmitter with an acknowledgement. AFHSS and bi-directional communication feature guarantee high resistance to radio frequency interference and lead to significant reduction in power consumption.
BE-DMX wireless allows both point-to-point and multicast transmission with full RDM support, as well as co-existence of several wireless groups on the site. Once the connection between the transmitter and the receiver(s) is established, they make a wireless group which ignores data coming from “outsiders”. The devices remember their last group settings, so there is no need to group the devices every time you turn them on.
BE-DMX wireless was created to work without failing. Back-up support is absolutely necessary for professional use. Even though the transmitter gets out of order while in service, a back up transmitter takes over the job, immediately establishing link with his predecessor’s group of receivers.
BE-DMX wireless transmitters, receivers and transceivers are ready to work in tough conditions. They have solid metal housing (indoor - IP44, outdoor -IP65) and perfectly function in a wide temperature range between -40°C and +65°C.
BE-DMX wireless COMBINED technology seriously widens the area of BE-DMX application, whereas it paves way to integration of BE-DMX wireless devices into Ethernet-based (ArtNet/ACN) systems.
In a number of countries, you may not exceed 100mW transmitter's output power, which happens in case you need to apply a high gain power antenna to it so as to increase transmission distance. The new BE-DMX wireless ADVANCED technology allows you to cover a 1000m @ 100mW with a standard 2dB antenna apllied.
