LanBox LCX DMX Controller

General information:
The LanBox-LCX is a powerful and multipurpose box. It has Ethernet, USB, MIDI in and out, DMX out, DMX in, eight analog inputs and eight digital outputs. All these inputs and outputs can be programmed to do anything: use an analogue fader to fade lights and control lightcues via DMX, use Art-Net over Ethernet to start eight ipods using the digital outputs as rs232 ports or use the DMX input to send MIDI messages. It is all possible and most importantly: it will operate without a computer, reliable and for many years.


LanBox-LCX features:
The LanBox-LCX has a DMX in and output. The DMX output has a patcher and custom fading curves can be easily added for each channel. Any DMX data send to the input will be mapped to any of the 3072 channels of the internal mixer so they can be used for all kinds of programming. The MIDI ports will send and accept controller and note messages to directly control individual mixer channels or even cues.

But also Midi Time Code (MTC) and SysEx Midi Show Control (MSC) messages can be used. The Ethernet port can be used to broadcast and receive mixer channels over Ethernet via UDP and Art-Net or to fully control and program the LanBox via TCP/IP. The USB port is used for programming with e.g. LCedit.

At the back of the LanBox-LCX there are eight analogue inputs and eight digital outputs available. Each input has a 10 bit resolution, or 1024 individual steps. In inputs can be connected directly to channels, but they can also be used to, for example, control the intensity or speed of a cue, or even as a trigger for one or many cues.

The digital outputs are multipurpose. Every output can be used as a switch, providing up to 20mA. If more power is required then the full power from the power adapter (1000mA) is available via the many +6VDC outputs at the back of the LanBox-LCX. Every output can also be used as an RS-232 output. Using this feature, it is possible to send commands to control iPods, video projectors, media players and many other equipment. Of course all eight outputs can be individually programmed.

Comes with US (120vac/edison) power adapter. Upon special request, a universal (100vac-240vac) with European and US edison adapter is available.
