Doug Fleenor DMX512 iPlayer 2 Interface

The DMX512 iPlayer interface receives a DMX512 input signal and outputs RS-232 commands to the iPlayer. The interface uses three consecutive DMX512 channels: trigger mode, show selection, and global intensity.

The interface is compatible with iPlayer 2, iPlayer 3, and Light System Manager which are products (and registered trademarks) of Color Kinetics Incorporated.
