Wireless Solution W-DMX BlackBox F-2 G6
Two-universe W-DMX transceiver operating in 2.4 and 5 GHz, with RDM support and the option to act as transmitter or receiver. The main alternative ecosystem to CRMX.
Protocols it speaks
| Protocol | Direction | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| dmx512 | bidirectional | DMX in or out on the XLR ports depending on mode. |
| rdm | bidirectional | RDM over the wireless link. |
| art-net | bidirectional | Art-Net on Ethernet-equipped variants. |
| sacn | bidirectional | sACN on Ethernet-equipped variants. |
Connectors
- XLR5 DMX in/out
- Antenna connectors
- Ethernet on network variants
What to watch for
Not compatible with CRMX. Confirm which system the fixtures have built in before hiring transmitters.
Dual-band operation helps enormously on a congested site, but only if the receivers also support 5 GHz. A mixed-generation receiver stock pins you to 2.4 GHz.
