ADJ Launches the Airstream DMX Bridge -- A Multi-Signal Wi-Fi TransmitterThe new Airstream DMX Bridge from ADJ is the perfect wireless DMX control solution, allowing users to operate multiple ADJ fixtures from a distance of 2,500', without the hassle of extensive wiring or complicated DMX programing. Not only that, but users can achieve all of this from the screen of their smartphone or tablet, thanks to the arrival of a revolutionary app for iOS. ADJ's Airstream DMX Bridge is a Wi-Fi interface designed to work with the company's new Airstream DMX Bridge app. This intelligent combination of hardware and software enables users to create a single wireless DMX network for their WiFLY-compatible ADJ fixtures, allowing them to send a signal from their iOS device to the lighting fixtures themselves via the Airstream DMX Bridge unit. This gives users the freedom to control their lighting effects and produce spectacular programed light shows from the convenience of their handheld device. Furthermore, ADJ has fitted the Airstream DMX Bridge unit with three-pin DMX outputs, so users can also control their non-WiFLY products from the same app. The company says the Airstream DMX Bridge allows users to control their DMX lighting easier than other control products on the market. The app is easy to learn by someone with little or no DMX experience, yet it has plenty pro features for advanced users as well. Plus, the Airstream DMX app allows users to go wireless. This means quicker, on-the-fly programming with no fuss or messy wires. From an iPad or iPhone designers may control all their DMX lighting: LED Pars, moving heads, stage lighting, gobo projectors, uplighting, and dance floor FX from the simple push of a button. Key features of the Airstream DMX Bridge box include a WiFLY signal indicator on the side panel, allowing users to see how strong the wireless signal is when positioning their ADJ lighting; 14 WiFLY channels, for controlling a wide range of fixtures; and a transmitter which can send signals to multiple receivers using the same radio channel (letting users incorporate numerous WiFLY lighting fixtures within the same DMX network). In addition, these receivers will automatically "listen" for transmitters, so users can instantly get set up and start controlling their wireless lighting, without having to "pair" the effects first. With the unit also boasting EXR (extended range) WiFLY, ADJ has also ensured that the fixtures within the DMX network can be controlled wirelessly from an impressive distance of up to 2,500', using any iOS device. This is perfect for mobile DJs, event organizers, and lighting designers who want to generate pure lighting excitement from their convenient position at the DJ booth, behind the stage, or from the back of the room, even in the largest of spaces, without having to lay extensive cables or be tied to one position. This new Airstream DMX app offers a lot more than the original Airstream IR app, letting users go much more in depth when it comes to color selection, head movement, and other customizable features, without the need for complex DMX programming through a hardware controller. The app layout is simple, making it easy to navigate, with five tabs on the main menu: fixtures, channels, effects, scenes, and shows. On the fixtures tab users can patch up to 24 fixtures by selecting from a pre-set library of ADJ WiFLY and Elation Professional products, as well as having access to generic configurations (e.g. RGBA or 24-channel). The channels tab can then be used to access a range of settings for the selected product, so users can do everything from adjusting the color of individual LEDs to triggering strobe effects or creating unique patterns of movement for their moving heads. The color and pan/tilt sub menus, meanwhile, can be used to adjust positioning and create custom color hues, as well as add amber, white, and UV to the mix. Using the app, shape FX, color FX, and flash FX can also be generated and assigned to the user's fixtures. The shape FX engine allows moving heads to be assigned with customized movements, giving users the option to draw patterns free-hand, create them using set points or use the pre-set circle shape, all of which can be enlarged or decreased in size to dictate the scope of movement. Meanwhile, in color FX the range and speed of color-change patterns can be customized and changed, while the flash FX section lets users control the intensity and speed of their pulse/strobe effects. These effects can then be tried out using the loop and run features on each menu and saved for later when the user has achieved their desired look. The final two sub menus -- scenes and shows -- simply let users build DMX light shows to wow their audiences. The adjustments and effects created and selected using the app can be saved as scenes, of which 24 can be assigned to the slots in the scenes tab. These scenes can then be used to build an incredibly dynamic and varied light show that can be saved to the shows tab and used later. "Our new Airstream DMX Bridge is the ideal product for everyone from mobile entertainers to event organizers to church technicians to small-club lighting designers," explained Alfred Gonzales, national sales manager for ADJ USA. "If you want multi-fixture wireless DMX control that's quick and easy to set up but highly reliable and effective during operation, then look no further! Thanks to its game-changing features, like the extended-range WiFLY, and its accompanying iOS app, this affordable but forward-thinking product makes wireless DMX control a possibility for all." The Airstream DMX Bridge is available now from ADJ USA, and mid March from ADJ Europe.
