The MDG M35A-X is a sophisticated 2-channel DMX interface designed for seamless integration with MDG's Atmosphere, MAX, and Ice Fog series fog and haze generators. Finished in a sleek black, this interface not only complements your equipment aesthetically but also offers enhanced functionality, making it an essential tool for professionals in the entertainment and event production industries.
This DMX interface is engineered to provide precise control over your fog generator's operation through a straightforward two-channel setup. The first channel is dedicated to the generator's on/off function. Any DMX value below 50% will turn the generator off, while values above 50% activate the unit, allowing for easy management of fog production. The second channel controls the fog emission itself; any value exceeding 7% will initiate fog output, enabling users to adjust the intensity of the fog effect with precision.
One of the key features of the MDG M35A-X is its adjustable DMX base address. Setting the address requires a simple process of powering off the generator and adjusting the dip switches located on the interface. Each switch has a specific value, allowing users to easily calculate the desired DMX address by turning on the appropriate switches. For instance, switch 1 represents a value of 1, switch 2 represents 2, and so forth, up to switch 10, which sets the termination for the DMX line. Proper termination is essential when the interface is the last device in the DMX chain, ensuring signal integrity throughout your lighting and effects setup. An example configuration for an address of 78 would include turning on switches 2, 3, and 7, while leaving the others off.
The interface is equipped with LED indicators that provide crucial operational feedback. The green LED signifies that the fog generator is ready for operation, while the yellow LED indicates that the heater is active. If the yellow LED flashes rapidly, it signals that the generator has entered a fail mode, alerting the operator to potential issues. The red LED confirms that DMX data is being received, providing assurance that the system is correctly connected and communicating.
Designed for ease of use and reliability, the MDG M35A-X DMX interface is compact and robust, making it suitable for both permanent installations and portable setups. Its intuitive layout and clear labeling simplify the process of adjusting settings, allowing operators to focus on creating exceptional atmospheric effects without the distraction of complex controls.
In summary, the MDG M35A-X is a versatile and essential 2-channel DMX interface that enhances the functionality of MDG's fog and haze generators. Its combination of user-friendly controls, precise channel management, and essential feedback indicators make it an invaluable addition to any professional lighting and effects setup.
