Technical Specifications
Wireless for all SkyPanels
The
SkyLink Receiver plugs directly into the DMX port on the back of any
SkyPanel and receives power from the USB port directly below the DMX.
This compatibility allows for SkyLink to work with all SkyPanel models
including the S30, S60, and S120, offering a wireless solution for the
entire SkyPanel family. The new SkyPanel S360 already has Wireless DMX
built in and works seamlessly with the SkyLink products.
WiFi to Wireless DMX
The real
wireless magic happens in the SkyLink Base Station. Armed with two
wireless chips, the SkyLink Base Station can communicate LumenRadio’s
Wireless DMX and the international standard of WiFi. Therefore, a tablet
or computer can communicate, via WiFi, to the SkyLink Base Station
which can, in turn, communicate the reliable CRMX standard to the
SkyLink Receiver on the SkyPanel. This communication chain supports new
and simple ways of controlling one or many SkyPanels
DMX + RDM = Total Control
ARRI
LED products have always included an excellent implementation of RDM
(Remote Device Management) in addition to the DMX protocols. RDM allows
for two-way communication with the fixture and enables the ability to
change all settings on the lamp head remotely. The SkyLink system is
fully RDM capable and allows for complete control over all aspects of
the SkyPanel.
Compact and Rugged Design
The
SkyLink Receiver has a unique, compact, and robust design that fits
perfectly within the SkyPanel family. The SkyLink is one of the smallest
Wireless DMX receivers on the market and is designed specifically with
the SkyPanel in mind. The swivel DMX connector allows for the SkyLink
Receiver to be rotated 180º in order to achieve the best signal strength
regardless of the SkyPanel’s orientation.
Outstanding Range
The
reliable Wireless DMX in SkyLink allows for strong and consistent
communication to the fixtures. With an outstanding range of 150 m (500
ft.), SkyLink performs well on stage with typical obstructions. In
optimal conditions, for example direct line-of-sight, the SkyLink can
receive a signal up to 400 m (1300 ft.) away. This allows for
dramatically increased freedom on set while still maintaining complete
control over the SkyPanels.
