Taming DMX

The presentation aims at demystifying basic DMX concepts and terminology and provides an overview of the existing architectural DMX controls systems and their ability to seamlessly integrate with electrical and electronic devices such as emergency lighting circuits, occupancy sensors, exterior weather and motion sensors and utilizing music as well as ambient sounds to generate dynamic lighting patterns through a number of existing projects. In this presentation we’ll explore the importance of setting a behavioral narrative for the client through lighting by incorporating elements like flow riser diagrams, scene lists, and scheduled lighting scenes based on astronomical and real-time clock triggers.

Basic knowledge of color changing lighting is recommended.
