Astera ART7 AsteraBox WIFI - 2.4GHz Wireless DMX Transceiver with Bluetooth/WiFi and Rechargeable Battery in Black Finish

The Astera ART7 AsteraBox Wi-Fi is a powerful and versatile 2.4GHz wireless DMX transceiver designed to enhance control over Astera lighting systems. With its compact, durable aluminum housing and integrated battery, this device offers seamless connectivity using CRMX, Bluetooth, UHF, and Wi-Fi protocols, enabling reliable control of a wide range of Astera lights. Whether used as a transmitter or receiver, the AsteraBox Wi-Fi facilitates easy communication between your lighting setup and the AsteraApp or DMX controllers, providing complete control and monitoring of your lights remotely.

The AsteraBox Wi-Fi works by acquiring Bluetooth signals from the AsteraApp and transmitting RF signals to Astera lights. This allows users to control color settings, effects, and other parameters directly from their phone or tablet. The device supports a range of Astera lights, including HydraPanel, Titan Tube, PixelBrick, and more, making it an essential tool for professionals working with diverse lighting setups. The AsteraBox can transmit one DMX universe wirelessly with the LumenRadio CRMX protocol, offering a range of up to 984 feet for both CRMX and UHF connections. The Bluetooth range extends up to 9.84 feet, while Wi-Fi connectivity further extends the remote control possibilities.

Thanks to its rechargeable internal battery, the AsteraBox Wi-Fi offers up to 60 hours of runtime when connected to the app or 18 hours when operating with CRMX. The device is easy to transport, fitting comfortably into the included transportation case, and features a belt clip for hands-free operation. Additionally, the AsteraBox Wi-Fi includes a variety of ports, including a micro-USB for charging and a 3.5mm jack for DMX input, making it adaptable to various setups and environments.

For added convenience, the AsteraBox Wi-Fi allows you to monitor the status of your lights, including battery status, radio signal strength, and DMX address, directly from the app. It also provides the ability to set DMX addresses and profiles for individual or multiple lights, helping to streamline the setup process. This makes the AsteraBox Wi-Fi not only a reliable transmitter but also a critical tool for managing large lighting arrays and ensuring smooth operation throughout an event.
