The DMX­cat™ sys­tem from City The­atri­cal is a use­ful device that’s designed for the light­ing pro­fes­sion­al who is involved with the plan­ning, instal­la­tion, oper­a­tion, or main­te­nance of the­atri­cal and/​or stu­dio light­ing equip­ment. It con­sists of a com­pact hard­ware inter­face device and a suite of mobile appli­ca­tions. Togeth­er, they com­bine to bring DMX/RDM con­trol plus sev­er­al oth­er func­tion­al­i­ties to the user’s smart­phone for use wher­ev­er and when­ev­er need­ed. Devel­oped with input from design­ers and tech­ni­cians, the DMX­cat should prove to be an indis­pens­able tool for light­ing users. The DMX­cat will oper­ate with both Android and IPhones. 

DMXcat’s inter­face unit is a small bat­tery device that can eas­i­ly fit in a pock­et or tool pouch, or can be worn on a belt. It employs Blue­tooth® LE tech­nol­o­gy for com­mu­ni­ca­tion with the smartphone/​applications (up to 35ft range). With­out the lim­i­ta­tions of a phys­i­cal con­nec­tion, the user is free move about the work-space as need­ed with their smart­phone, run­ning the var­i­ous apps, while still using the phone for on-the-job com­mu­ni­ca­tion. The device’s 5-pin XLRF connector/​cable assem­bly allows it to be con­nect­ed to a point in a DMX data chain to allow test­ing and/​or con­trol of the var­i­ous DMX/RDM chan­nel func­tions. It is charged using a stan­dard USB to Micro-USB cable and charger.
