2022 Most Popular Stadium Lighting Control System-DMX512

With the development of LED technology, the current lighting industry has been lead by LED, and LED control system has also emerged.

The control mode is mainly used in outdoor landscape lighting, such as stadium, ancient architectural lighting etc. Although static lighting effect can give a person true, quiet feeling, but dynamic lighting effect can also be seen everywhere. The most common outdoor control system is DMX512.

What’s the DMX512?

DMX512 (Digital Multiplex) is a standard for digital communication networks that are commonly used to control stage lighting and effects. It was originally intended as a standardized method for controlling light dimmers, which, prior to DMX512, had employed various incompatible proprietary protocols.

DMX512 lighting control system is made of the Demo effect design software，main control panel and LED lamps, each DMX512 controller can drive 512 channels. It is not mean a luminaire, a luminaire may have multiple control channels. For example, a group of RGB is regarded as 3 control channels, then the controller can drive at most 170 lamps not 512 lamps, if need to use more than 512 channels, then multiple controllers can be used to work in parallel to synchronize information for synchronization work.

2. A DMX can have up to 512 connections while in DALI max connections are 64 only.
3. In the DMX system, automatic addressing cannot be performed while in a DALI system automatic addressing is possible.
4. While in both systems the cable length is 300 meters, yet in DMX the cable requirement is Cat-5.
5. DMX is a centralized control panel while DALI is a decentralized control system.
