The DMSCr is a DMX wall switch scene controller with DMX input OVERRIDE function in a 1 RU enclosure and is equipped with 4 switch inputs. Stores static scenes and then recall the scenes with any standard 2, 3, or 4 way wall switch configuration or any style toggle switch in a compact aluminum enclosure. Optionally OVERRIDE the switches with a DMX lighting board or any DMX input. See the DMX Wall Switch Controller full description category page for more information. Photos show a 4 switch input front and back. The Switches input / output connections are via a DB9 style connector. A Mating DB9 solderless screw terminal and power supply included. Note: Front mounted power switch is an option.


The DMSC unit has many programmable parameters and options, and is easily setup with PCB mounted dip switches. Each preset scene can be HTP (Highest Takes Precedence) merged with each other and optionally merged with the incoming DMX input (if applicable). With custom designs each DMSC DMX output can be merged with other DMSC units or PCB's or other DMG (DMX Merger) units or PCB's to offer custom and flexible output options. For more information see the Users Guide for programming and setup instructions and view the example diagrams.
