Wireless DMX, with CRMX

For battery fixtures, moving set pieces and venues where you won't run cable: Halyx sends the universe to a node, the node passes it to a CRMX transmitter, and the fixtures receive it wirelessly.

How it works

CRMX (LumenRadio) carries a DMX universe over radio, reliably, with receivers built into many recent fixtures (battery PARs, tubes, film panels) or in a separate box. With Halyx:

  1. the PC sends Art-Net or sACN over the network;
  2. a node port outputs DMX to the CRMX transmitter (for example a LumenRadio CRMX Luna);
  3. fixtures linked to the transmitter receive the universe, wirelessly.

The same universe can go out both on a cabled port and on a port connected to the transmitter: a universe copied to several ports only counts once in the licence.

Battery fixtures, ready to patch

The Halyx library includes battery fixtures and film lighting: battery LED PARs, tubes (Astera, Aputure, Nanlite…), panels and matrices. Each profile gives its modes and channels, taken from the manufacturer's documentation.

Good habits

  • link the receivers to the transmitter before the show (on the transmitter, or from the fixture);
  • keep the transmitter high, away from metal structures;
  • help for connecting a CRMX transmitter is in the Halyx Outputs screen.

Frequently asked questions

Does Halyx have a built-in CRMX transmitter?

No. Halyx is software: it sends Art-Net or sACN to a node, and the CRMX transmitter plugged into a node port transmits wirelessly. Any CRMX transmitter with a DMX input works.

Can I mix cabled and wireless fixtures?

Yes. Each node port outputs the universe you choose in Outputs; a universe can go out both on cable and to the transmitter.
