New on display will be the W-DMX UglyBox MK2. This is a compact new wireless signal tester, which is a valuable tool for users of wireless products, providing proof of a solid signal and piece of mind in the absence of visible cable.
The UglyBox MK2 is housed in an attractive compact body, resembling a gaming control with a 4.3" Touch LCD Screen. It supports 2.4GHz, 5.2GHz and 5.8GHz and is a transceiver solution, which means that it can be used as both transmitter and receiver. It has a complete DMX tester that provides all data in live format directly on the screen. It also has a built in DMX controller as well as an RGB Fixture to simulate LED fixtures on the LCD Screen for quick testing. In history mode you can also see over time that you have a stable signal over a certain period.
Also on display will be the new W-DMX COB (Chip on Board), a transceiver solution in an ultra compact 6x6mm size. Wireless Solution is the first to launch the SMT mounted Chip On Board Radio Transceiver that supports both DMX and RDM in a QFN48 package. The W-DMX COB is a low energy solution with only 40mA current consumption that facilitates distances up to 200 meters (650 feet) with a standard antenna together with a BlackBox F-1MK2. W-DMX COB is a low cost solution, making it possible for every manufacturer to implement wireless DMX with support of RDM.
Finally, the new NANO RDM RX represents the next phase of Wireless RDM receivers. The NANO RDM RX is a DMX/RDM receiver with full implementation of the RDM protocol and support of the latest G4S software with updated 128-bit encryption and much improved adaptive frequency hopping algorithm that is improved by 200% more accurate reading of the interference noise level.
Based on the same technology as the W-DMX COB solution with high power PA as well a LNA with superior sensitivity for long distance control. The NANO RDM RX supports the latest standard of ETSI EN300 328 with the 2015 Revision. For easy implementation, it uses the same form factor as the existing NANO Range as well as the same connector in all other W-DMX products.
The advantage with this is that it fits both high volume as well as project driven installations with a low cost that was not previously possible.
The full range of W-DMX products will be available, along with the teams from Wireless Solution and A.C.T. Lighting.
