DMX

Also known as DMX512, DMX control. Category: Lighting and optics

DMX (DMX512) is a standard digital protocol for controlling lighting equipment from one controller. Each light listens on its own address and receives values for intensity and, where supported, colour temperature or effects.

How PhotoRobot uses it

PhotoRobot uses DMX to control continuous LED lights, so a preset can set lighting automatically for each product category. DMX control is integrated directly into PhotoRobot control units, which PhotoRobot states reduces failure points compared with USB converters on a PC; the PINK system also sets its LED intensity over DMX.

  • Continuous light: Lighting that stays on constantly, typically LED, so the effect is visible before shooting.
  • Control unit: The computer inside or beside every PhotoRobot that drives its motors, triggers cameras and connects it to the network.
  • Preset: Saved PhotoRobot Controls settings for capture and editing, applied automatically to similar products.
  • Strobe: A studio flash that emits a very short, powerful burst of light, freezing motion.
