Jump Start

DMX512 & RDM tester
Jump-Start is a small hand-held RDM and DMX512 programmer. As the new Remote Device Management (RDM) protocol gains acceptance, the DIP-switches on the rear of Moving Lights will gradually disappear. There is no need for them as RDM allows the lighting console to patch the lights.

BUT: What do you do when the lighting console is still in the truck? Or when you need to address a light in the workshop? Or if you want to check the temperature sensor?

That's where Jump-Start comes in! Plug it into the DMX connector and moments later you have a display of all the important information: Start Address, Footprint, Personality, Sensors, Temperature, Voltage, Lamp Hours to mention but a few. A couple of key presses are all it takes to edit the settings. You can even plug into the entire lighting rig and auto-patch all the lights!

Have you ever stood in front of a light trying to remember which combination of channels mean 'strike'? Jump-Start is so clever that it can simply ask the light to strike or dowse or self-test.

Jump-Start also operates as a straightforward DMX tester. You can set individual channels to a level or have them ramp continuously. You can even store the channel settings to a memory.

Two 'AA' batteries power Jump-Start. Talk time is around 12 hours and Standby time is about 6 months.
