LumenRadio announces they will release two new products at Prolight+Sound in Frankfurt this week in Hall 12.1, booth C58 — MoonLite and TiMoTwo. The company also has made a significant new hire in Sean Dane as US sales manager.
MoonLite is a brand new patent-pending wireless lighting control product with bluetooth connectivity, color coded pairing, and built in battery. It is a wireless CRMX receiver and transmitter built on LumenRadio’s new TiMoTwo module where they have updated their award winning ultra-reliable CRMX technology. By introducing TiMoTwo and MoonLite to the market, LumenRadio says that they are entering the “New era of Wireless DMX.”
Thanks to its small size, built-in battery, and dual XLR connectors, MoonLite is well suited for use at clubs, small stage events, corporate events, in theaters and temporary events where wireless DMX is needed. The Bluetooth connectivity enables control and configuration through CRMX toolbox app.
MoonLite has the same reliable functionalities as all LumenRadio’s CRMX products, but is updated with even smarter disturbance detection technology, allowing for even more stable connectivity — and it comes in a much smaller package. MoonLite features include:
• Built on the latest CRMX technology
• DMX transceiver (TX and RX)
• RDM enabled in RX mode
• DC power
• Bluetooth connectivity
• Rechargeable battery included (10-12 hours in CRMX RX and 20 hours in Bluetooth mode)
• Check battery status through app
• Color coded pairing indication
• Velcro fastening
• Firmware updates available over Bluetooth, USB or XLR
With built-in support for Bluetooth connectivity, MoonLite enables tablet and phone based lighting control software to connect directly without the need for extra hardware. LumenRadio’s new CRMX Toolbox app makes it easy to connect to users’ fixtures, allowing for DMX light control and configuration directly from a handheld device. By using LumenRadio’s open Bluetooth API, users can also build their own lighting control application or connect to 3rd party controllers.
“What better way to control and configure your MoonLite then from the palm of your hand? Using our new CRMX Toolbox app you can quickly identify your Moonlite, check battery status, conduct firmware updates, toggle between receiver and transmitter mode, change output power and much more. The new era of wireless DMX is finally here,” says Niclas Norlén, CTO of LumenRadio
MoonLite is ready to ship in Q2 2019.
The current TiMo platform, which was launched back in 2014, enables unprecedented reliable wireless DMX for fixture manufacturers. LumenRadio’s new TiMoTwo platform is the next generation of reliable wireless DMX communication and with patent pending DMXmesh option, Bluetooth compatibility and improved Coexistence, TiMoTwo will be the most reliable and useful radio module for wireless DMX, the company says. LumenRadio’s TiMoTwo is a fully integrated DMX/RDM module and offers over-the-air firmware upgrades, SMT mounting, an integrated on-chip antenna as well as a UF.L connector for external antennas. It will be available for purchase in Q2, 2019
Bluetooth enables easy commissioning and lighting control using portable devices, firmware updates over the air, and support for DMX over Bluetooth (in TX mode). Users can also build their own lighting control app using LumenRadio’s open Bluetooth API.
TiMoTwo has a dynamic RF transmission resulting in reduced RF footprint as well as improved disturbance detection and improved reliability
The DMXmesh option, which will be made available later on this year, enables flexible fixture placement and an extended range of users’ wireless communication.
With LumenRadio’s patent pending DMXmesh technology, every receiver and fixture will also act as a repeater, where all devices coordinate among themselves to make sure that the coverage is expanded in the most optimal.
Also, by using the DMXMesh option the time needed for installation and wireless commissioning will be greatly reduced for architectural and architainment illumination with no more site surveys or complicated planning for the wireless DMX distribution. The DMXmesh technology will let users focus on what is important; illumination, not on DMX distribution. With TiMoTwo in their fixtures, users can now use the newly developed CRMX Toolbox app to track and connect to their fixtures and controllers. TiMoTwo’s built-in Bluetooth connectivity enables DMX light control through 3rd party smart device light controllers as well as the option to build their own application using the open Bluetooth API. Visit LumenRadio at Prolight+Sound, Hall 12.1, booth C58, to learn more about how TiMoTwo opens up for the “New era of Wireless DMX” and come and see both the MoonLite and the CRMX Toolbox in action.
