It includes a timer to start and stop your lighting performance automatically. The iDMX® APP requires Cameo’s iDMX® CORE interface.

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
