Description

The DMXcat® makes it easy for anyone to control, analyze, or test any DMX lighting fixture, whether it’s a simple LED PAR or a complex moving light. The system consists of a small hardware dongle (purchased separately) and a suite of free mobile applications. Together, they combine to bring wireless DMX and RDM control plus other useful lighting functions to the user’s smartphone. The DMXcat solves the problem faced by all users of modern lighting equipment: How to turn on and test DMX lighting gear without using a complicated lighting console.

Software Applications
There are currently seven apps available for use with the DMXcat system:
•DMX Controller: A single universe (512) DMX channel controller with two user interfaces (sliders or keypad).
•Fixture Controller: Controls multi-attribute fixtures from a built in database.
•RDM Controller: For bi-directional communication and control of RDM enabled devices.
•DMX Tester: Analyze and adjust settings for transmitting or receiving DMX.
•DIP switch calculator: Simplifies the configuring of DIP switches used for setting DMX addresses.
•Light Meter: Useful for setting light levels for on-camera use (requires light sensor).
•RF Spectrum Analyzer: For surveying and visualizing Wi-Fi networks in the 2.4GHz spectrum


Hardware
The DMXcat’s hardware interface is a compact battery powered device which fits easily in a pocket or tool pouch or may be worn on a belt. It uses Bluetooth LE technology for communication with the smartphone applications (up to 50’ range). Without the limitations of being physically connected, the user can move about the workspace as needed with their smartphone and run the various apps while still using the phone for on-the-job communication. The device’s five pin XLRF connector/cable assembly allows it to be connected to a point in a DMX data chain to test or control of the various DMX/RDM functions. It is charged using a standard USB to Micro-USB cable and charger. Other features include a built-in LED flashlight, an audible alarm for locating a misplaced unit, XLR5M to XLR5M Turnaround, LED status indicator, and a removable belt clip with a split ring safety point. Optional accessories include XLR5M to RJ45 Adapter, XLR5M to XLR3F Adapter, XLR5M to XLR3M Turnaround, and a Belt Pouch.

Requirements
Android OS version 5.1 or above
Bluetooth 4.0 compatible device

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

3 ★Nanlux 1200B crashes the app when attempting rdm
5 ★Love the tool. Would love 2 simple functions in the app. Specify an address range and run a chase through it. And a blackout button. As a set LED installer, being able to walk around a set and control the LED strips and fixtures to find tiny faults, those two functions would be awesome.
3 ★I have two dmx cat tools, and use them with android phone mostly, but also android tellers, I pads, etc. Sometimes it gets confused when going between the devices. No consistency in getting it working either... must have for touring and stationary Theatrical electricians.
3 ★It doesn't like connecting to my phone. I have to uninstall and reinstall it everytime someone else has used it.
1 ★Why you don't have to much fixtuers, you should do an update every 6 months
1 ★5 DMXcats will not connect to my Samsung Phone through the app. Multiple coworkers having the same issue. Uninstalled, Reinstalled, Updated, Emailed City Theatrical. Answer after the run around of "Did you unplug it and plug it back in?" was pay them $75 plus shipping to send in my DMXcat when it is clearly an app problem. They refused any other assistance. Worthless
4 ★Working once again.
5 ★Best app
1 ★Horrible experience, device does not connect to either of my phones. As a onsight technician I cringe when I have to use this device because it never works correct and ends up costing me time and money while I troubleshoot this device. I strongly recommend to look elsewhere for a dmx tool
2 ★Buggy, with bonus spam emails from City Theatrical. App frequently fails to connect to device, requiring the app to be stopped and restarted. Sometimes very laggy, again requiring the app to be stopped/restarted Bonus: if you use the reporting feature to let CT know that a fixture personality is missing, they will use the email address you supply for spam. Overall, the device is useable, but irritating if used frequently. I'd give it 4 stars but for the malignant marketing component.
