The Cameo iDMX® APP supports a full DMX universe of 512 channels and all RGB, RGBA, RGBW, RGBWA, RGB+UV and RGBWA+UV lightsfixtures. It includes a timer to start and stop your lighting performance automatically. The iDMX® APP requires Cameo’s iDMX® CORE interface. This battery powered WiFi receiver integrates a 2.4 GHz W-DMX™ transmitter with up to 300 m operating range. It allows you to control both standard DMX and W-DMX™ enabled fixtures with the app. Cameo’s iDMX® APP Version 2 is a complete rewrite of the App from scratch. We collected feedback on the first app version and worked intensively with key users on these brand new features: - Dashboard provides a quick overview - Project files / management for creating multiple shows - Identification of newly created fixtures - Easier and more intuitive editing of scenes - Locking for the live show (against unintentional changes) - Sharing of project files ... and a lot of detail improvements
