Explore the ADJ Aria X2 Bridge, a wired digital network communicator designed for the Aria X2 lighting system. It seamlessly connects the new Aria X2 serial protocol with existing wireless DMX solutions such as ADJ WiFLY, Elation eFly, Magmatic MagFly, and Acclaim Aria. This device offers frequency agility, operating on standard 802.15.4 channels in 2.4GHz and 915MHz (U.S.) or 2.4GHz, 868MHz, or 863MHz (Europe) spectrums, ensuring excellent network performance in busy settings. With Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) configuration, you can easily set up the device directly from the fixture menu and make individual DMX channel adjustments for creative control. Over-The-Air (OTA) updates keep your Aria system up - to - date, accessible through a cloud repository for efficient maintenance. The Wireless Mesh technology adapts to various situations with minimal user input, providing a versatile multi - hop DMX protocol for optimal performance. Frequency hopping enhances network reliability and spectrum utilization, delivering a smooth lighting experience. Key features include using a single DMX Universe, supporting 900Mhz, 2.4 GHz WiFi, and Bluetooth connectivity, having configuration options via an upcoming App or front panel, enabling wireless communication between DMX and wireless devices, and being compatible with Aria X2 to SM220 (eFly, WiFly, MagFly, and Acclaim Aria) as well as SM220 to Aria X2 connections. Technical specifications cover supported protocols like DMX, RDM (planned for future release), proprietary 802.15.4, Aria X2 Mesh Protocol, Bluetooth 5.2 (BLE), and Aria X2 Serial Protocol. It has specific RF characteristics, connectors such as 5G JT SMA antenna, 5 - pin XLR DMX input and output, and more. The power requirements are AC100 - 240V 50/60Hz with a power consumption of 2W. It comes in an IP20 aluminum/metal enclosure with a front - panel digital screen and rotary knob, and has specific dimensions and weight.
Using the ADJ Aria X2 Bridge is quite straightforward. First, connect it to your power source using the appropriate power cable that matches the AC100 - 240V 50/60Hz requirement. Then, connect the DMX devices using the 5 - pin XLR input and output connectors. If you want to configure the device, you can use the upcoming App or the front - panel options. You can also take advantage of the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) feature to make direct adjustments from the fixture menu. When it comes to maintenance, keep an eye on the Over - The - Air (OTA) updates. These updates are available through a cloud repository and will help keep your Aria system current. Remember to check the firmware of both the Aria device and the fixtures regularly. As for storage, keep it in a place where the temperature is around 77°F (25°C) and the humidity is less than 75%. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures; the maximum ambient operating temperature is 113°F (45°C). When handling the device, be careful with the connectors like the 5G JT SMA antenna and the 2.5mm/5.5mm barrel connector for DC. Also, make sure to use the correct power fuse, which is T1.25A/250V (5 x 20mm). If you plan to mount it, you can use the rack and wall - mount accessories provided.
