Extend DMX Lighting Control over a MultiDyne Fiber Optic Link

October 5th, 2009

I recently had a customer at the IBC show ask me about extending DMX lighting control signals over a MultiDyne fiber optic link.  The customer also needed to extend the 40 channels of audio over fiber.  Please see my recommendations below:

 

Regarding your other requirement, we have the DAM-4000 40 channels of analog audio transport.  This should me all your analog audio transport needs.  I’ve downloaded of research on the DMX lighting control format.  It is a form of RS 485 communication.  Please find the Wikipedia entry below:

It appears that it is RS-485 with the baud rate of 250K.  our FMX-100 will provide RS-485 communication over one or 2 fibers.
