DMX512 is a standard for digital communication networks used mainly to control stage lightning and effects. The protocol sends 8-bit values in 512 individual channels at up to 44 time per second. Professional equipment such as moving heads, LED fixtures and dimmers are daisy chained and their individual parameters can be controlled via certain DMX channels.

Thanks to DMX Assistant you will be able to send DMX via the Art-Net protocol over Ethernet networks from your Mac to control various lightning systems easily and efficiently. What is more, DMX Assistant is capable to listen to all the Art-Net broadcasted over the network and help you understand how the system works.
