DMX lighting

DMX lets you adjust your lights from Miroir Remote. Each setting, such as brightness or color, uses one or more DMX channels.

Connect the lights to the network

Connect the node to the same network as the Director 4K. Using DMX cables, connect the node to the first light, then daisy-chain the lights and fit a terminator to the last light’s output.

In Miroir Remote, check that the gateway shows Connected.

Set the same universe on the node and in Miroir Remote. A universe contains 512 DMX addresses.

Plan DMX addresses

Each fixture mode uses a specific number of consecutive addresses. The mode and address chosen in Miroir Remote must match those set on the fixture.

For example, consider three lights in a 6-channel mode on universe 1:

Next address: start address + channel count. To control lights separately, their address ranges must not overlap. If two identical lights should respond together, give them the same address on the fixtures and add a single configuration in Miroir Remote.

Add the lights

The GDTF library contains configurations for many light fixture models.

1. In Search, enter the manufacturer or model.
2. Select the result that exactly matches your fixture.
3. Under DMX mode, choose the mode set on the fixture, then click Next.
4. Enter its Name, Universe and Start address.
5. Click Add.
