Nicolaudie DINA-DR1-LITE - 2-Universe (1,024 Channel) DIN-Rail Stand-Alone Architectural DMX Controller with App Control in Purple Finish

The Nicolaudie DINA-DR1-LITE is a robust and versatile 2-Universe (1,024 Channel) DIN-Rail stand-alone architectural DMX controller, specifically designed for ambitious lighting projects that demand precision and flexibility. Finished in a striking purple, the DINA-DR1-LITE not only delivers exceptional performance but also makes a bold aesthetic statement, making it ideal for installation in various architectural environments, theaters, event spaces, and more.

At the heart of the DINA-DR1-LITE is its advanced Stand Alone engine, which allows for outputting 2 DMX universes (1,024 channels) across 20 zones. This feature enables intricate control over multiple lighting fixtures and installations, ensuring that users can achieve dynamic and complex lighting arrangements with ease. The controller allows for triggering lighting scenes using various methods, including calendar triggers, conditional rules, dry contact ports, or via Ethernet connectivity, enhancing its usability in diverse applications.

The DINA-DR1-LITE excels in stand-alone mode, capable of storing up to 2,000 scenes for easy recall during performances or events. With the ability to play scenes across 20 distinct areas or zones, this controller offers unparalleled versatility for complex lighting setups, enabling users to customize their lighting experience according to specific needs. The unit features a generous 16MB flash memory, complemented by a microSD slot for additional storage, allowing for efficient management of lighting scenes and configurations.

In addition to its robust DMX capabilities, the DINA-DR1-LITE is RDM compatible, allowing for bi-directional communication between the controller and compatible DMX devices. This feature simplifies the process of monitoring and managing DMX devices, providing users with real-time feedback and control over their lighting systems.

Connectivity options abound with the DINA-DR1-LITE, including USB and Ethernet for programming and control. Users can program the controller using software from Nicolaudie's website, compatible with both Windows and Mac systems. The flexibility extends to mobile devices as well, with dedicated programming and remote control apps available for iOS and Android platforms, enabling seamless operation from anywhere within the network.

One of the standout features of the DINA-DR1-LITE is its potential for future upgrades. The Smart Upgrade Technology (SUT) allows the device to be used with other Nicolaudie Group software, unlocking additional capabilities as they become available. Upcoming features include remote management via the internet (currently in beta testing), direct support for LED pixel tape, DALI integration, and expanded output options through Artnet and sACN protocols.

Measuring 160 x 91 x 62 mm and weighing just 317g, the DINA-DR1-LITE is compact and lightweight, making it easy to install on DIN rails in electrical enclosures. The device operates with a power voltage range of 8-15V DC, connected via a screw terminal for reliable power supply. The controller also features 8 dry contact trigger ports, allowing for extensive integration capabilities with external devices and systems.

In summary, the Nicolaudie DINA-DR1-LITE is a feature-rich, scalable stand-alone DMX controller that expertly combines advanced technology with user-friendly design. Its extensive capabilities, vibrant aesthetics, and robust connectivity options make it an ideal choice for lighting professionals and enthusiasts seeking a reliable and efficient control solution for their architectural lighting systems.
