Schematic diagram of the stage lighting control system in a concert hall using GigaJet Pro DMX converters
In the fast-paced world of theatrical and live event production, a reliable lighting control system is the foundation of a seamless performance. This article dives into a sophisticated setup deployed in a modern concert hall, where the front-of-house (FOH) technical room and stage are bridged by a network of GigaJet Pro DMX/Ethernet converters. Designed for professionals who demand precision and flexibility, this system leverages fiber optic technology and advanced features to manage complex lighting designs with confidence.
DMX 512 Over More Than 2 km | Stage Connection Diagram via Optical Cable Through SFP
All control signals are integrated into the GigaJet Pro, which employs merging technology with automatic priority management and data backup functions.
DMX and RDM data are transmitted over optical fiber to a second GigaJet Pro, and then to a third GigaJet Pro, enabling the connection of all equipment and the transmission of multiple DMX universes over long distances.
DMX Over Power Lines: Control Lighting Using Existing AC Wiring
In large-scale installations like architectural lighting, city infrastructure, or retrofits, running separate DMX signal lines is not always practical or cost-effective. That’s where DMX over power line technology offers a smart alternative – allowing you to transmit DMX512 control data using the same 110/220V power cables already in place.
This method is actively used by Sundrax in its PowerGate product line, delivering reliable, real-time control without extra cabling.
Galvanic Isolation in DMX Networks — Equipment Protection and Signal Stability | Sundrax 🛡️
In professional DMX installations, dozens or even hundreds of luminaires, controllers, splitters, and amplifiers are connected in a shared network through which the signal is transmitted. But what happens if a high-voltage surge ⚡️, for example, due to a short circuit, connection error, or even during a thunderstorm, enters one of the sections? Without galvanic isolation, such failures can damage or destroy all equipment across the network.
