Remote control via DMX signal

Wings Vioso RX can be controlled via DMX, which is an interesting feature for theatre operation. For this purpose, a value is transmitted on a DMX channel which must correspond to the remote index of the trigger to be executed. A possible DMX input is the Soundlight USBDMX-IN.

An alternative is control via the Avio system and the Wings IObox DMX. See Control via Wings IOboxes.

Before your can remote-control via DMX you need to create a DMX port first:

    1. Click on category Devices in the Media Pool.

    2. Right-click some free space in the right Media Pool portion and select Add port DMX.

    3. In the dialog box, place a checkmark next to Interface for input and Execute trigger with DMX channel. If you want to use several DMX interfaces you may have to enter a free ID number. See also Adding a DMX port for Soundlight interfaces.

    4. Under Control of Wings functions enter the DMX channel used for controlling Wings Vioso RX.

    5. Close the dialog by clicking OK.

    6. In order to be able to receive DMX commands, you need to enable the device ports by clicking on button . It needs to be pressed .

    Once the device ports have been enabled, you can have your DMX device transmit a value on the specified DMX channel to execute a trigger.  This transmission should be kept very brief, i.e. 0.5 to 1 second should ensure highest security. Following this, the trigger with the remote index corresponding to the DMX value is executed in Wings Vioso RX. This way, all trigger actions can be executed via DMX remote control. Information on how to create triggers and select actions can be found under Trigger functions.
