The DMX to AMX converter is available in two standard configurations. The single output model handles up to 192 dimmers while the dual output converter extends the unit's capability to 384 dimmers. Custom converters with any number of DMX inputs and AMX outputs are also available. These custom units are seamless; they handle the problems of two DMX inputs covering one AMX output and CD-80 6K/12K modules without gaps in the DMX numbering. |
The DMX to AMX converter allows the installation of control consoles that lack AMX outputs into a system of AMX dimmers. Typical uses include upgrading the console of an AMX lighting system or adding AMX outputs to a DMX only console (you may purchase just the circuit board). If you would like assistance in your application, please give us a call. We like to talk with our customers.

The DMX512 to AMX192 converter is based on a 20 MHz high performance microprocessor (Zilog Super8). The program is written in assembly language for maximum speed. The converter accepts any DMX signal: DMX512, DMX512/1990, 4 or 8 uS mark-after-break. The converter outputs AMX192 at 100 updates per second. On dual output models (384 dimmers), the two ports run in parallel. That is dimmer 1 and dimmer 193 are output at the same time using two separate digital to analog converters. This doubles the speed over designs using one digital to analog converter. The two outputs have separate drivers so a short on one output will not affect the other.
The circuit board is available without the enclosure for mounting inside a console. The tested board comes with wiring information but installation should be done by a technician trained in lighting console repairs. The power supply is included on the board and may be jumpered for 100-120 or 208-240 volt operation.
