Product Description
The American DJ LINK 4 - Universe DMX Hardware Controller is a top - notch device for controlling compatible DMX lighting equipment. It works in harmony with the dedicated Airstream DMX LINK iOS App on iPads. You can connect it to an iPad either wirelessly or via a hard - wired connection. When using the wireless option, it creates a private 2.4 or 5 GHz DSSS WiFi network. This network can coexist in crowded RF areas, letting you remotely control, program, and play back your light shows by undocking the iPad. For a hard - wired connection, you'll need a USB cable adapter (not included), which also allows iPad charging. On the back, there are four 5 - pin XLR outputs that send a steady and reliable DMX signal to your compatible devices. Key features include support for WiFi and DMX512, 2.4 and 5 GHz DSSS WiFi networks, four hard - wired DMX universes, a USB input for a gooseneck work light, a removable outer case for 6U rack mounting, and a Kensington security device slot. Technical specs cover a range of buttons, faders, dials, and ports, along with details on size and weight. It comes with a USB cable, a multi - voltage DC9V power supply, four power adapters for different regions, and a rack - mount kit.
Using the American DJ LINK 4 - Universe DMX Hardware Controller is easy. First, if you choose the wireless connection, turn on the controller and your iPad. The controller will create a private WiFi network. Open the Airstream DMX LINK iOS App on your iPad and connect to the network. Then you can start controlling, programming, and playing back your light shows from a distance. If you prefer a hard - wired connection, get a USB cable adapter and plug it into your iPad and the controller. This way, you can control your lights while charging the iPad. When using the controller, make sure you're in an area where the RF signal won't cause interference. Also, handle the device gently as it has delicate components. For maintenance, keep it clean by using a soft, dry cloth. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity. Store it in a safe place when not in use. Check the power supply and cables regularly for any signs of damage. If you need to use the rack - mount kit, follow the instructions carefully to ensure proper installation.
