The QuadCore is a solid-state lighting controller that features 2,048 DMX channels across 4 DMX outputs. The onboard flash memory allows for storing DMX shows.

 

The QuadCore includes a 4-universe license of CueluxPro. Larger universe numbers are achieved by stacking more QuadCores. Targeted at channel hungry projects that typically involve pixel mapping, the QuadCore reduces the cost per DMX universe.

Solid-State

The units are constructed without any moving part or forced cooling. Data is securely stored in onboard flash. Designed for maximum reliability.

 

Internal Clock

The internal clock is used for scheduling events based on time, date or weekday. NTP is supported for synchronising with an external server.

 

Master-Slave

The TimeCore is capable of converting between any of the SMPTE, MTC and Art-Net timecode protocols and frame-rate.

 

The RdmSplitter is an optically isolated splitter designed to help tackle the inconvenient limitations of the DMX 512 protocol. The splitter takes a DMX signal and sends it out again on its 6 DMX output ports allowing a star-topology for efficient cable usage. Each output port is capable of driving 32 more devices. The splitter can also function as a signal booster as each port supports another 300 meter long connection. The RdmSplitter features RDM compatibility. The RDM protocol provides two-way communication over a DMX infrastructure. It enables automatic addressing and allows fixtures to provide status information back to the lighting controller.

The DmxMerger is a tool for combining signals from multiple lighting controllers into a single DMX network. Up to six different DMX signals can be merged together. How the DMX signals are merged together depends on the merging strategy. The DmxMerger offers three different strategies amongst its six inputs: LTP, HTP and Priority.
