How Do DJ Lighting Controllers Work?

    Features

    • Lighting controllers are designed to manage popular types of event lighting such as strobe and tracking lights. The interface of the lighting controller interacts with the connected lighting and allows users to adjust any customizable parameters on the individual lights such as position and rate of speed.

    Use

    • Prior to use, all of the lights manipulated by the controller must be connected to the device with DMX cables. DMX has become the standard method of data transmission between lighting controllers and individual lights. Depending on your controller, several features such as strobe and chase may already be programmed and assigned to individual buttons on your device. More complex lighting programs are created by assigning effects to channels within your DMX connection. These individual channels can then be activated and controlled in a performance situation.

    Potential

    • Video controllers are often seen in tandem with lighting controllers at many live music venues. Products such as Numark's AVM02 controller allow users to manipulate audio and video simultaneously. If you are developing your own visual presentation, determine exactly what you would like to incorporate and find the products that produce these results. As video and lighting controllers are somewhat expensive, it is well worth the time spent planning to purchase only the equipment that you absolutely need.
