mDMX
EasilyLED have incorporated mDMX into their lighting fixtures. We took this step as it gave us an edge over our competition. We can do things other products can not achieve.
Who really wants an external power supply after all?
Who wants all the hastle of running mains and data cables?
Who needs to spend the time explaining to their customers the cable mess?
mDMX simply works like this:
mDMX is a unique and highly reliable method for sending DMX over mains cabling using Ethernet. mDMX uses multiplexing technologies to modulate multiple universes of DMX down a standard mains cable. The attraction of running just one cable is obvious and mDMX has been designed for situations where data cable management is a problem e.g. moving trusses and scenery, FOH data runs, etc. It currently has a proven capacity of 4 DMX universes running concurrently over a distance of up to 400 meteres.
mDMX coverts the DMX 512 data into Ethernet packets using the WENDI protocol. These packets are then processed using an enhanced form of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) with forward error-correction, similar to the technology found in DSL modems. In the case of OFDM, the available range of frequencies on the mains cable subsystem (4.3 MHz to 20.9 MHz) is split into 84 separate carriers. OFDM sends packets of data simultaneously along several of the carrier frequencies, allowing for increased speed and reliability.
If noise or a surge in power usage disrupts one of the frequencies, mDMX will sense it and switch that data to another carrier. This rate-adaptive design allows mDMX to maintain an Ethernet-class connection throughout the mains cable without losing any data. Currently mDMX is rated at 14 Mbps, which is faster than most wireless solutions
mDMX in the future will provide a single unified transport stream for DMX, RDM, ARTNET, and ACN, as well as providing transport for video standards such as MPEG. mDMX is based on an international standard which governs data throughput and RF interference. mDMX limits the amount of RF interference through the low power transmission system employed
Why mDMX and LED lights? EasilyLED contacted dAFTdATA as soon as they discovered the availability of the product. LED lights for the exterior of buildings need data cables as well? Or do they? Using mDMX EasilyLED’s products have the distinct advantage of not needing a separate data cable.
So take away your old sodium light fittings and replace them with EasilyLED’s LED uplighters. Wire in an mDMX solution into your fuseboard and now you have control over the lights. Simplicity itself. No extra cabling, no extra cost, reduced install time, simplicity itself.
Connect the mDMX injector unit to the Internet as well, and now you can change your LED installations lights via the Internet.
Every EasilyLED unit has a MAC address, and a subsequent IP address, you can even DHCP it, if you need to.
That’s what makes our customers EasilyLED
