DMX Assistant

DMX Assistant is a super handy tool for your Mac that helps you work with Art-Net input and output. If you want to check out the Art-Net from other controllers or test and back up your controls, this software is perfect for you!

Save Your DMX Values

With DMX Assistant, you can easily save your favorite DMX values into user-defined scenes. This makes it simple to control your lighting using MIDI hardware. Just so you know, DMX512 is a standard used mainly for controlling stage lights and effects. It sends 8-bit values across 512 channels at up to 44 times a second. You can connect professional gear like moving heads, LED fixtures, and dimmers in a daisy chain and control their specific settings through certain DMX channels.

Art-Net Protocol Made Easy

Art-Net is another protocol that lets you send the lighting control protocol DMX512-a using the User Datagram Protocol over Ethernet networks. Thanks to DMX Assistant, you'll be able to send DMX signals via Art-Net from your Mac effortlessly! Plus, it can listen to all the Art-Net broadcasts on the network so you can get a good understanding of how everything works.

Create Backup Scenes

This tool lets you save your DMX values into many scenes, which can be saved as regular document files. This feature allows easy backups and transfers between different computers! You can even control scene intensity submasters using MIDI Control Change or Note messages.

User-Friendly Features

A cool feature of DMX Assistant is the light-up faders that help you see your current DMX levels clearly. If you need to view more channels at once, just turn on the grid view! This way, working with intelligent fixtures becomes easier as all key values are right there in front of you. The built-in histogram gives an overview of your entire DMX universe, showing how much you're using along with any glitches or patterns that pop up. And don't forget—DMX Assistant can also display arrays of RGB LEDs!

Your Go-To Utility for Lighting Control

Overall, DMX Assistant is a powerful utility that allows you to take charge of various light fixtures while keeping an eye on both Art-Net input and output through broadcast Art-Net.
