Wired control options

Harness the power of wired data for lighting control: benefit from technologies such as DMX-512A, RDM, sACN, Art-Net, LAN, and web control, ensuring maximum reliability and advanced setup management. Optimized for heavy traffic and complex processing, SkyPanel X integrates seamlessly with ARRI's ALSM.

  • DMX-512A 5-pin:

    Conventional DMX and RDM communication via two 5-pin XLR DMX ports.

I am really excited about the HyPer Optic. The super-tight beam angle allows you to create truly new effects that were not possible before. The option to change DMX modes via DMX itself is also clever and useful. For me as a programmer, being able to save parameters is also very important. Using the SkyPanel X23 will make a big difference, especially when working with larger systems.

FAQ

  • All SkyPanel X fixtures wired in the same network can be controlled/configured from one display. All SkyPanel X users can configure their own DMX modes and transfer them to other fixtures; they can also avoid using the ALL-WEATHER Control Panel if they prefer to use their phone via Bluetooth.

  • Art-Net is a royalty-free communication protocol, developed by Artistic License, meant for transfering DMX-512 packets over an IP network. In most cases, this means building a network using Ethernet cables. Art-Net is primarily a unicast or broadcast protocol, and allows for up to 32,768 universes on a single network. The SkyPanel X is especially well suited for Art-Net networking: Two Ethernet ports allow for daisy-chaining of Ethernet cables, just like you would expect from a traditional DMX-512 network.

  • sACN (Streaming ACN) is an ANSI-recognized communication protocol (E1.31) for transfering DMX-512 packets over an IP network. In most cases, this means building a network using Ethernet cables. sACN is primariliy a unicast or multicast protocol, and allows for up to 63,999 universes on a single network. The SkyPanel X is especially well suited for sACN networking: two Ethernet ports allow for daisy-chaining of Ethernet cables, just as you would expect from a traditional DMX-512 network.

  • The ALL-WEATHER Control Panel is an IP66 controller that can be inserted into a SkyPanel X for onboard control, removed and connected via cable for remote control, or even used to control multiple fixtures in an array.

  • The ARRI LiCo App is a free app, that will be soon downloadable for Android and iOS that works with your SkyPanel X natively over Bluetooth 5.0. It allows you to control and setup the SkyPanel X directly from your phone or tablet, without the need for transmitters or receivers.

  • Always check for the latest LiOS firmware version on ARRI´s website. SkyPanel X currently runs on LiOS3.
