Hey guys this is Martin again from SIRS-E.
And today I am going to show you a very low cost.
And affordable option for standalone DMX.
Standalone DMX basically means that.
You could write a DMX show and save it on to an interface just like this one.
Without the need of a computer.
This is perfect for applications that you don’t have room for a computer.
Or you just don’t want to have it for whatever reason.
And this will actually run on its own.
You program it with a computer.
And then you save the programming on to the device.
And then it runs on its own.
It comes with a power supply, it comes with everything you need.
In this case we are using a Lumidesk NANO.
The Lumidesk NANO is a great little interface.
It is a high quality interface.
It has 128 DMX channels in stand-alone.
You can hold about 59 steps depending on the size and all that stuff.
Of a particular programming.
For most applications 128 channels should be enough.
Unless you are doing some crazy productions.
Where you have pixels and a bunch of stuff.
But you really don’t need that many channels if it is something small.
So here we are going to be using a basic RGB DMX LED driver.
It is our LED-CON2-R2.
And it is what we are going to be using to test this out for you guys.
So I am going to show you how to create a basic show and all that stuff.
So the first thing you want to do if you do order this.
Is you want to install the program on to your computer.
After you have done that.
What you do then.
Is you connect the USB cable that is included in the box.
One side to the computer.
The other side to the interface.
You see the lights come on and all that stuff.
Just let it install its drivers and do its thing.
Once it is all done.
The next thing you do is you open up the Lumidesk software.
So let’s see if we can find it here on the computer.
And there it is.
So while you are opening up you’ll notice the banner that says Lumidesk NANO.
That means that it actually detected the interface.
So that is good news.
Next thing we do is we plug in our DMX cable.
Which it is already hooked up to the LED driver.
And that means that we have control now.
So the most important part about making all this work.
Is you want to patch your units.
And I kind of click on that by accident.
So click here on patch.
And this window will open up.
And since we are using a generic RGB fixture.
That is just what we are going to chose.
So you go to generic.
Then select RGB.
And then you click and hold and then you drag it.
And we are going to set it to address 1 or channel 1.
Because that is the only thing we have connected.
And that is going to be enough with it.
For the sake of making this video very easy to follow.
So we click ok, now we have that fixture there.
Then we select the fixture on our desktop.
And then we will open up the preset profile page unit.
This here is your master.
And you want to turn it up and you’ll see that it is already coming on white.
That means that we have control.
Now the color wheel.
You can get that color wheel and move it around.
And you’ll notice that it is changing.
So if you go to like yellow.
Red is red.
Blue is blue.
And green and so on and so forth.
So what we are going to do here.
We are going to click on the plus sign for the Cues.
And then we are just going to create a new cue.
So we have the green there.
And when we click plus it opens a new one and resets it back to default.
So we would do green.
Then we will do yellow.
And then we will do.
Ok let see what colors do you guys like.
We will do blue. Ok.
So now we have green, yellow and blue.
(I forgot to turn this up here).
So we have green, yellow and blue.
Now this is your basic presets.
Keep in mind that you can also create moving effects.
As far as like color fades and mixes and stuff like that.
And that is all done within changing here the time codes.
The whole time and fade time and all that stuff.
But this is something really simple.
It is all we are doing. Just solid colors ok.
So then we go to standalone up here.
You select that and then you’ll see the 3 sequences that we wrote.
We are going to select each one.
and then we will drag it over here.
Ok and then we click here on the corner.
And then that is to actually to write on the interface memory.
That takes about a second and it is done.
Alright.
So we just close everything up.
And it will probably ask us to save.
We just say no this time.
And there you have it.
Now I have actually close the program.
And the interface still connected here for power purposes.
To supply power to this.
Is not running on the software or anything like that.
And this could actually be done with the included power supply.
That it comes with so there is actually no need for the computer.
But just for the sake of making it simple we are just using this cable to supply power.
So if we move this buttons here you’ll notice.
That we have the colors recorded.
That we actually set up there.
So we have the green, yellow and the blue that we set up.
So, that is pretty much all there is to it.
Like I said you can create.
Color fades, moving patterns and stuff like that.
But it is not necessary.
We are just doing it simple.
But keep in mind that is available.
So remember 128 channels.
59 steps and everything come included.
Low cost really cool and simple to use.
