OVERVIEW

City Theatrical‘s DMXcat™ system is designed for use by the lighting
professional who is involved with the planning, installation, operation, or
maintenance of theatrical and studio lighting equipment. The system
consists of a small 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 whereverand whenever they are needed. Developed with input from designers
and technicians, the DMXcat will be an indispensible tool for lighting
users. The DMXcat operates with both Android and IPhones.
Hardware
The DMXcat’s interface device is a compact battery powered unit whichfits easily in a pocket or tool pouch or may be worn on a belt. It uses
Bluetooth LE technology for communication with thesmartphone/applications (up to 35’ range). Without the limitations ofbeing physically connected, the user can move about the workspace asneeded with his/her smartphone and run the various apps while stillusing the phone for on-the-job communication. The device’s 5 pin XLRF
connector/cable asembly 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.

The DMX Controller app is a flexible andfeature rich means for controlling 512
channels of DMX data. Two different userinterfaces are included. The first emulates aconventional slider control arrangement suchas is found on many simple manual lightingcontrollers. Touch and swipe gestures control
the various level adjustments. Users can workwith and easily switch between screensdisplaying 8, 64, or 512 (Live View) channels
of information. For those who prefer anumeric based interface similar to what isfound on a full sized lighting console,command line instructions can be input using
familiar keypad and thumbwheel controls. An
active 16 channel display provides current
channel status. With either interface, users
can adjust/work with indivdual, groups, orranges of channels, record and play presets,
customize names, and display levels as %,decimal, or hex values.

The Fixture Controller app has been designed
to serve as a setup and test tool for the vast
selection of lighting fixtures in use today.
Many of today’s moving light fixtures use
over 40 channels of DMX control data, andcan be configured to operate in a dozen or
more modes (profiles). This can make it
difficult to identify a particular channel’sfunction when setting up or testing a fixture
with a small DMX controller. Using an
extensive built in database of manufacturers,fixtures, and operational profiles, users caneasily select and assign the fixture’s attributes
and starting address, and a control interface
specific to the fixture is displayed for testing
its features. The various fixtures/personalities
may be saved as “favorites” for futurereference. When connected to an RDM
enabled fixture, DMXcat identifies thefixture’s address and attributes and loads its
control interface automatically.

The DIP Switch Calculator app is anindispensable tool used in the conversion ofnumeric values to their binary equivalents.
Used when configuring DIP switches forsetting DMX channels and other fixture
parameters, users simply enter a three digit
numeric value and its corresponding DIP
setting is displayed. Both the numbering orderand reading direction can be reversed tomatch the switch orientation as needed.

Device Model Description

MAC Aura

RDM Controller
The RDM Controller is an application designed
to control RDM enabled fixtures. Features
include:•Control & monitoring of RDM devices•Full discovery- detects and generates a list ofall RDM devices.
•Detects all sub devices for a selected device•Shows all supported parameters•Shows descriptions for all PIDs
•GET and SET for all PIDs (even user defined)•Monitors fixtures for any sensors with easy
to view info

DMX Tester
Connect the DMXcat to a point in a DMX data
chain and view DMX information and levels.
Parameters of the controller’s transmitted
DMX signals may be adjusted andparameters of received DMX signals may beviewed including: Break Time, Mark After
Break, Inter-slot, Mark Before Break, Number
Of Slots, and Refresh Rates. A Flicker-Finderfunction is included for identifying
intermittent problems within the datanetwork.

Light Meter (Android only)
Useful for studio work, this app offers basic
reflected light measurements to help in lightlevel adjustment for film and video
production. Light levels are displayed in LUX.

Device Label

Software Applications
There are seven apps available for use with the DMXcat system. Apps
are available through Google Play (Android) or the Appstore (IPhone).

Identify potential communication problems
before they happen. The RF Spectrum Analyzer
enables the user to visualize existing Wi-Fi
networks operating within a venue. Eachwireless network is labeled and showngraphically within an overall schematic
representation of the 2.4GHz RF channel
spectrum. Armed with this information, wireless
DMX operation can be optimized by adjusting
the type of transmission (hopping paterns) andor locating the control network in uncrowded orunused areas of the RF Spectrum.
