Exalux Connect+ 1U Full Wireless Kit - 512-Channel Wireless System with 2.4GHz Dual-Band Art-Net to DMX WiFi Gateway and TX100N DMX Transmitter in Black Finish

The Exalux Connect+ 1U Full Wireless Kit is a comprehensive, out-of-the-box solution designed for professionals looking to manage and control LumenRadio CRMX-compatible lighting fixtures wirelessly using an iPad or Art-Net/sACN console. This turnkey kit combines the powerful Exalux Connect+ Dual-Band Wi-Fi to DMX Gateway with the Exalux Connect TX100N DMX Transmitter to create a fully integrated wireless DMX networking system, perfect for the most demanding lighting setups. Whether you are working with HUE lamps, NYX lamps, or other professional fixtures, the Exalux Connect+ Full Wireless Kit provides seamless, responsive, and reliable control in complex environments.

The heart of the Exalux Connect+ Full Wireless Kit is the versatile Connect+ Dual-Band Wi-Fi to DMX Gateway. This device supports dual-band (2.4GHz + 5GHz) MiMo Wi-Fi technology, ensuring stable and responsive connectivity between your iPad and the gateway. The Connect+ offers flexible wireless control, with the ability to manage up to two DMX universes without the need for additional interfaces. For areas with high wireless interference, the 5GHz band can be used to establish a clear communication link, especially when paired with a CRMX transmitter like the Connect TX100N, which is included in the kit. The automatic frequency band selection mode further ensures that the Connect+ is always operating on the best available frequency for optimal performance.

The Exalux Connect+ is fully compatible with a wide range of Art-Net-based DMX applications, including BlackOut, DMX Connect+, and Luminair. It provides seamless control of DMX fixtures, with an intuitive color TFT display and backlit buttons for easy configuration and operation. With the ability to be powered through PoE (Power over Ethernet), a V-Lock battery, or an external PSU, the Connect+ is highly versatile, ensuring installation flexibility and reliable operation in both studio and field environments. The PoE mode is particularly useful when the Connect+ is used as an Art-Net node with a live hardware console, simplifying the setup process and reducing cable clutter.

In addition to its core DMX functionality, the Connect+ Full Wireless Kit includes the Exalux Connect TX100N DMX Transmitter, which uses LumenRadio CRMX technology for wireless DMX transmission. This transmitter supports one DMX universe with a frame rate of 0.8-830Hz and low latency of less than 5ms. The TX100N features a robust antenna and offers an impressive wireless range of up to 500-1000 meters, depending on the environment, ensuring reliable coverage across large venues or outdoor setups. The transmitter also supports a wide range of input voltages, from 4.5V to 26V DC, and includes a 5-pin Neutrik XLR female connector for secure DMX input.

The entire system is housed in a rugged 1U form factor with a robust, waterproof case, making it perfect for both permanent and mobile installations. Whether you are controlling individual lamps or managing complex lighting fixtures, the Exalux Connect+ Full Wireless Kit offers exceptional performance and reliability. With easy firmware upgrades via USB and the ability to back up and restore settings, this system is designed for future-proof operation. The kit's self-repairable design also ensures long-term sustainability, with spare parts readily available from Exalux, reducing electronic waste and supporting a circular economy.
