All G5 products are backward compatible to Generation 3. In order to operate in compatibility
mode, please refer to 5.5 in this manual. By using the product in a compatible mode, you will lose
some of the best features present in G5. Please refer to our helpdesk service if you want to find more
about which features you won’t be able to use in compatibility mode.
W-DMX™ is not compatible with any other Wireless DMX system that isn’t made by Wireless
Solution Sweden. The manufacturer strongly recommends against pairing this system to any other
third-party protocol.
You may find W-DMX™ being used by several lighting manufacturers – this protocol, if specifically
named “W-DMX™” will work in an identical way as a branded Wireless Solution product, and it is
therefore compatible with our transmitters and receivers.
