Watched your vids to learn how to set & program a set of lights for a social dancing group and went wireless a couple yrs back after having issues when daisy chained with cords. Like how clear and easy you make it to learn. Thnx!

That’s nice. Welcome back Steve. I have them Donner Dongles but they are old and got them off a friend. Question is how long do they last without power supply. As battery operated last around 5hrs. Which for me is very tight.
@LearnLizard
@LearnLizard 8 месяцев назад
Hey Jeffo (I like the new name!) These dongles require constant power from the little USB chargers. I incorporated them into my rig so I never have to worry about battery life- so far working well. Appreciate you watching this one!

Its true they have to be plugged into power, but I used to have to run long cables from my interface out to my light stands, and now its all wireless. Its really made my setup a LOT easier. Always appreciate your comments and positive words croissant!

Hey what do you think about ai stage lighting I think it’s cool but it takes the jobs of us then people say that’s fine but they might as well remove the band or dj and replace it with ai instead if they want that is what I said.

Thanks for posting this, you made it quite clear. I do have one question. you mentioned about using another system and simply changing the code. So does that mean I could use his system with say a manual board and then use a different system on a computer driven show at the same time?
@LearnLizard
@LearnLizard 5 месяцев назад
Yes. If you bought 2 sets you could have each transmitter/receiver on its own frequency and use them independently.

Great video Steve, would I only need to use one receiver then daisy chain the rest of my stage lights? I have 6 2 channel DMX spot lights and 6 7 channel spots as backdrop stage lights
@LearnLizard
@LearnLizard 8 месяцев назад
Yep- I'm using a similar hybrid setup with one receiver for each light stand location. All the lights in the stand are daisy chained to that receiver. So far it is working very well. Appreciate you watching!

Hello, big problems arise when there are interferences! Or with your own sound system/microphones and bands! Another big problem is the delays
@LearnLizard

Thanks for the heads up. The manufacturer says "126 channels jumping frequency automatically to ensure reliability" We don't use wireless mics and so far so good.

Do they just work with 5V power supply or are there spotlights that have phantom power? And if there is, can these be powered that way? (Much like when you use phantom power for microphones with the audio mixer)
@LearnLizard
@LearnLizard 4 месяца назад
Yes, they need the 5v power supply, but if you want to pay a little bit more you can get ones with rechargable receivers like these: amzn.to/4bLM5Xm
@eventationAB
@eventationAB 4 месяца назад
@@LearnLizardThank you for answering! Rechargeable ones are a good solution, but I often do installations that will work for several days in a row, and then it feels safer with fixed power. And with the 5v power supply transformer, there are so many cables on each fixture. I've actually been looking for power adapters that go from IEC C14 to USB sockets. It would have been really convenient because so many spotlights have an IEC Power Connector output ... or powercon to a USB socket 😀 (That would have minimized cables and avoided a hanging power supply)

So basically I can have on my overhead truss one wireless receiver in fixture #1 and then daisy chain the others on the truss and be able to control them with the different addresses I have to them? The wireless dmx still transmits the “full spectrum” of commands and the independent fixtures respond accordingly?
@LearnLizard
@LearnLizard 18 дней назад
Yes, that's exactly right. I use one receiver for each "location" (stage right, left, etc.) and daisy chain all the lights together in each location. Appreciate you watching!

@@LearnLizard thank you very much! I am new to DMX and I am using it in a live band situation with the MaestroDMX controller. I play drums so I needed something hands free to give us a decent light show. Now that I know I can go wireless for my front washes and up to my overhead truss this will be a game changer and not have to drag out DMX cords everywhere!! AGAIN A GIGANTIC THANK YOU!!!!

Interesting product. But not truly wireless. Is there a battery powered version of the receivers? Right now I need twice the amount of power plugs
@LearnLizard
@LearnLizard 4 месяца назад
Yes, you can get a set with rechargable receivers here: amzn.to/4bLM5Xm I have to plug my fixtures in already, so it's easy for me to plug in the receivers as well (and not worry about keeping the batteries charged) But I can see where a rechargable option might be better for some folks.
@matthewfallon1728

What I am not seeing is the ability to set that "2nd fixture" to a different color and control it independently*. Currently, you have the transmitter's color matching both receivers' colors. Fine, BUT, how can those two (or more!!) fixtures operate *independently when going down the Wireless DMX route? Can anyone assist me with this? Thanks!!!
@LearnLizard
@LearnLizard 5 месяцев назад
Good question. The controller's transmitter is sending DMX messages to all the fixtures with receivers, just as if they were in a wired chain. So each fixture can be on its own individual DMX channel (with a unique starting address) and controlled independently, if that's the way you choose to set it up initially. Hope that helps.

Has anyone ever tried putting the transmitter at the end of the universe? I have a number of lights wired and a cheap DMX board with only one DMX out but my last light in the chain has it's DMX out port open. I'm adding a light that has built in wireless DMX control so instead of getting a transmitter and a receiver so I can wirelessly connect to my DMX line and the new light, I want to use that free DMX out on my last light for the transmitter (and not buy a receiver). Is there any reason why that wouldn't work? I would rather use a DMX cable because it's only a few feet away from the existing DMX lights but the new light does not have any wired DMX connectors...
@LearnLizard
@LearnLizard 5 месяцев назад
I think that should work. I don't believe the transmitter would know if it was connected to a controller or the DMX out of a fixture.

Wireless DMX seems cool until you have a lot of 2,4GHz WiFi and microphones in the venue as well. Suddenly, cables are cool again :)

get rid of your DMX cables but double your power cables

@@LearnLizard Definitely! I was lighting a small stage last year where we had 2 standalone tripods and a big truss behind. We had 3 wireless receivers and 1 transmitter, each receiver connected to one tripod and trussing, my PC and transmitter was about 50m away from the stage and we had 0 problems with interference or lag even though we almost filled up the whole universe. Still the simplest cable run I've ever did even though that was the most lights I've ever made a stage with. (around 50 lights lighting a whole hotel garage)
