1. 소개 및 이상view
The ADJ Link is a 4-universe controller designed for managing compatible DMX devices. It offers flexible control via the dedicated Airstream LINK iOS App for iPad. The Link unit establishes a private, standalone 2.4 or 5 GHz DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) WiFi network, ensuring reliable wireless communication even in busy RF environments. This network facilitates wireless DMX signal transmission to compatible DMX-512 devices.
The Link controller is an ideal solution for small production events, nightclubs, bars, or any venue requiring the convenience of wireless iPad control and a robust, 4-DMX universe app-based lighting control system. It is compatible exclusively with iPad devices running iOS 11.0 or later. Please note that the iPad is not included with the controller.
