Hey guys this is Martin again from SIRS-Electronics.
And today I wanted to introduce to you the SWISSON XMT 120A DMX testing and diagnostic tool.
This is a cool little device that comes with a ton of features.
And it is completely portable and wireless.
You don't have to connect the power supply to it.
Although, it could work with a power supply if you happen to run out of battery for whatever reason.
But you mainly use it with an alkaline 9v battery.
This, the 120A right here.
And there is also the 350 which the main difference is that the one outputs RDM.
But today we will be reviewing the 120A.
So basically this is what it looks like.
It is hefty and heavy duty.
It is quite heavy but it is robust.
Which means you can take it to a job site.
And you know if you drop it or something like that it can take a little bit of abuse.
But it is meant to be taken with you.
You know to a work side or whatever.
So it is not supper fragile or anything.
So it has a bunch of features.
You can input or output DMX with it.
You can test your DMX signal.
You can test the strength of your signal.
You can also test the refresh rate, your cable and much more.
So I am going to show you a couple of things that the XMT 120A can do.
For example here you got your main features which is your DMX and your receive DMX so
if you click on there.
It will actually show you.
Right now it says no signal.
But if I turn on my mixer here now it is receiving signal.
And if you go to like address 2 or whatever and move that it will actually show what percentage
of your signal is add.
You know you can use this to test different signals making sure everything is good.
And if there is some sort of error or the signal is weak it will actually show you on
the top corner.
If it is a weak signal or there is no signal and stuff like that.
That is one of the features.
This can also send DMX.
So if we go to send DMX feature you could choose which channel you want to send signal.
And there are this little short buttons here.
You can go to 50 percent or 100 percent.
And you can actually just use these.
You know you go to 100 percent and it will light up channel 1.
At 100 or 50 percent or you can also move up one by one with these here.
So that is another cool feature.
The other thing that you can do is.
There is a feature that is called "the channel tracker".
On that channel tracker what it does is if you have your DMX coming in.
and you move or there is a certain input.
That is doing a certain thing.
It will show you in a graph what the signal coming in looks like.
So if you are having trouble with the dimmer or flickering with something.
You might see something like that.
You know if something doesn't light up it will tell your DMX signal are switching on
its own.
So this is a cool little feature as well that comes with this unit.
There are also different you know you could do a flicker.
Finder and it will show you what is flickering or what is going on.
You could even build a sequence of scenes.
So you can record certain outputs of DMX values.
And you can actually put them into a sequence of different steps.
You can do something like 32 sequences with 100 steps.
Each which is very powerful.
A little memory that it has.
So you now you can also connected to the PC.
Which mean you can download software with more diagnostic.
Tools and more features that you can do once it is connected to the PC.
But in the stand alone feature it is still comes with a bunch of stuff.
So you know these are some of the basic things.
I am not going into a whole lot of detail with this.
Because if I were to do that this would be like an hour long video.
But this are some of the main thing that it does.
Receives DMX sends DMX.
The cable tester feature is actually really cool.
And that will actually show you which pins are connected to which.
And if there is a break there you know it won't show a connection between.
So that is a another cool feature you know super useful tool.
To take with you and it will actually make your job a lot easier.
If you are into any trouble or anything like that.
It is small and it even comes with a little mounting belt holder thing.
So you know like I said it will even come adapters 3 to 5 pin adapters just got your
In/Out.
So those are the main features if you guys have any questions comments concerns or anything
like that.
