CGDMX-512BI

Introduction

The CGDMX-512BI is a serial DMX512 interface which makes easy interfacing

possible between a Crestron control system and lighting product using the DMX512

protocol.

Only one serial RS-232/422 port on the Crestron control system is required to

communicate with the DMX512 interface.

The DMX512 interface has two separate DMX Ports, one DMX Out to send data to

the DMX lighting products and one DMX In to receive and/or control data from a

DMX512 Lighting console or other lighting control units.

Features and Functions

Applications

Control of any lighting systems that is compatible with the DMX512 protocol.
