5. COMPATIBLE SOFTWARE
Art-Net and DMX512 are the most commonly used lighting control protocols with roots in simple theatrical light dimming. These
days almost any lighting or stage effect equipment may be controlled using DMX512 (with explicit exclusion of anything
involving potentially dangerous operations such as pyrotechnics) including moving lights, LED screens, fog machines and laser
displays.
The DMXking.com eDMX4 unit is a 4 universe Art-Net device designed for use with computer based show control software. It
replaces an entire lighting console allowing the user to perform sophisticated shows with little more than a laptop. There are
many free and commercial software packages available and by selecting Art-Net as your DMX device compatibility is guaranteed.
The following tables are by no means a definitive guide to Art-Net & sACN compatible software however it’s a good starting
point.
