how come it doesn't work with branded dmx boards?

Ive nevr tried it on a dmx board. But I know they work with light jockey but i still had to tweek the profile.

Are you trying to get two dimmers to mirror each other? If so, just set them both to the same DMX address. Assuming of course, you are using a DMX controller, and not using the onboard "program" settings (this item will not work as a controller).

I don't see why it wouldn't, but that's is an interesting question.. I would say it should though as its just a controler. I'm using live standard and it works fine.

Well in order to make the board work, you will need some sort of dimming system. These boxes can be used as dimmers.If you want to control any sort of halogen or NON-COMPUTERIZED fixture you will need dimmer packs. Otherwise you can hook the DMX cable right to the board and go straight to your DMX lights.

should have a red and green light on if it is receiving signal correctly. make sure you have installed the software correctly that came with it and are using a compatible dmx software. also make sure you have selected the device as an output option within the dmx software

I use the DMXKing ultraDMX Micro. It's a usb-to-dmx interface using my laptop as the controller. You can get free controller software, such as QLC+ (what I use), and since you probably already have your laptop as a part of your setup, you don't need to add a separate lighting console to clutter up your desk.

This unit is not artnet compatible. You'll need a true DMX interface controller.Also, one of mine didn't work at all and had to be returned.

No DMX if you set the sensitivity right they will stay sync'ed for time but not color.

If you have the dip switches in the lower left corner of the unit, the first dip switches set the DMX address of the first channel. So to t and all others up.est with Channel 1, push the first switch down. The last switch determines if the unit uses DMX or the internal programs. That switch should be up, as well as all the others except #1 to test if it works on channel 1. The dip switches set the channel in binary numbers. If you want the first channel to be #4, then switch 3 should be down

For sure!But if your DX8 had not been upgraded (register your transmitter at spektrumrc.com for firmware update) to DSMX, it will bind in DSM2 mode.

Master slave has never been a problem for me. I've never run them DMX because it isn't feasible for my purposes. If you do try master slave, then you'll need IEC male to female power cords for the links.

It worked for our application. We put the Dfi at the end of the dmx daisy chain and haven't had any issues so far.

as long as you can DMX them together, you should be fine. just remember that this controller is only a 3 Channel, whereas the RGB is a 7 channel, so you will lose some functionality, but you can mess around with some of the programming options and get a lot of it back. all in all it's a great little controller to use for up lighting purposes. if you want to put on a fancy show you will need something more programmable.

I had a similar problem but I thought it was the LED unit that I was using it with. I don't have any other equipment to test it on. I used the command line interface to issue DMX commands and found that if I sent the same one a few times it would eventually take. It was not consistent and I suspect a timing issue that could be corrected in the internal microcontroller. They are programmable so I was going to tweak the settings and try again. The LED unit I purchased is not powerful enough for my application so I never got around to it. It was an older/compatible model related to uDMX units. I got information on them here: http://www.anyma.ch/research/udmx/

you'll need some kind of USB - DMX interface http://www.amazon.com/Interface-Adapter-DMX512-Lighting-Controller/dp/B009B5MX0K for instance. (I use the enttec product) note this controller box (Keedox) simply dims the output voltage of the three + DC pins for output to a LED strip or fixture, you'll also need an input power supply (and of course the leds - I used something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Flexible-Changing-Ribbon-Ledwholesalers-2034rgb/dp/B00476B908/ and http://www.amazon.com/Ledwholesalers-Power-Suppply-Driver-Transformer/dp/B0034GUEY4 THEN you will also need an application to communicate to the interface, I use this: http://freestylerdmx.be/ because it's free and it works, there are a lot of programs out there that cost hundreds, many of them have free trials, so I tried them, and none worked as well as freestyler as far as I could tell... and there were some really expensive ones out there. As far as I could tell, the real pros who use DMX seem to rely on expensive DMX control boards (HOG, Whole HOG) and not use computers as much. but freestyler has let me put on some cool lightshows on my stage. (http://www.mosquitoe.net/music) also someone mentions this has ethernet ports - it doesn't, it's just a second set of sockets for wiring with RJ-45 plugs, and you cant use them both, one or the other only... DMX control cables come in both flavors and you can mix them in an environment... I think this box could actually transition from DMX to RJ45 but i never tried it.

Not sure in that one. I'm not familiar with running gobos. You mean with dmx? I'm not familiar.

Yes. Remember there is a steep learning curve to the Obey 40 if you are not accustomed to using a DMX controller. In every Chauvet manual is a chart of possible settings and the numbers associated to the action the unit is capable of. You didn't mention that you have DMX cables or a DMX terminator. My advice is to use both. Avoid mic cables instead of actual DMX cables.
