The DMX (Digital Multiplex) protocol is not a lighting console itself

The DMX (Digital Multiplex) protocol is not a lighting console itself, but a communication standard used to control lighting systems, special effects and other scenic devices. It is widely used in the entertainment industry, such as in theaters, concerts and television productions. DMX allows digital signals to be sent from a control console (such as a lighting console or lighting control software) to devices such as lights, smoke machines or moving heads. Each device receives instructions through a DMX cable and responds according to the commands it receives. Here are some key concepts: DMX console: the device that sends DMX signals to the connected fixtures. It can be hardware (a physical console) or software (a digital interface). DMX Universe: A universe is a network of 512 DMX channels, where each channel can control a specific parameter of a device (such as light intensity, color, movement, etc.). DMX wiring: It uses 3 or 5 pin cables (XLR type) for data transmission. So, DMX is the protocol that allows communication between the console and the lights or other devices, not a console itself.
