<p>To combine both in one project, you need a DMX-DALI gateway - a device that translates signals between these systems.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><h2 id="referens1">
 What Does a DMX-DALI Gateway Do?
</h2></div><p>A DMX-DALI gateway acts as a translator, allowing a DMX-based controller (such as a lighting desk or show control system) to send commands to DALI drivers and fixtures.</p><p>Key capabilities:</p><ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li>Convert DMX channels into DALI commands</li><li>Map DMX addresses to individual DALI ballasts or groups</li><li>Enable integration between theatrical lighting and architectural control</li></ul><p>Some advanced gateways support <strong>bi-directional communication</strong>, meaning they can receive DALI status feedback (lamp failures, energy data, etc.) and pass that back to DMX-based monitoring systems.</p>

<p>Lighting control in architectural and entertainment environments often involves two dominant but very different protocols: <strong>DMX512</strong> and <strong>DALI</strong>. While DMX is preferred for dynamic, fast-changing effects, DALI excels in commercial and architectural settings where smooth dimming, status feedback, and group control are essential.</p>

DMX-DALI Gateway: Bridging Two Lighting Control Worlds

<p>Unlike LED stage lights, incandescent and halogen lamps do not have built-in DMX decoders. To control their brightness via DMX, special dimmer units are required to convert the DMX signal into an analog signal, which adjusts the power supplied to the lamp.</p><h3>Solution&nbsp;</h3><p>Using dimmer units compatible with both DMX and the specific lamps being used. For example, DimGate DIN allows you to control four analog lines (0-10V/1-10V) via the DMX 512 protocol.</p>

How to Control Incandescent Lamps via DMX?

<p>Unlike LED lamps, incandescent and halogen lamps have a limited dimming range. They cannot be dimmed down to extremely low brightness levels. Typically, the minimum brightness level for such lamps is around 10-20% of their maximum.</p><h3>Solution</h3><p>For smooth dimming of incandescent lamps, only professional theatrical dimmers should be used. These dimmers are specifically designed to work with incandescent and halogen lamps. Some dimmers offer adjustments to optimize performance for different lamp types.</p><p>Theatrical Dimmer DimGate DIN &nbsp;– Это ссылка – capable of controlling four analog lines (0-10V/1-10V) via the DMX 512 protocol.</p>
