How to program different DMX devices from Show Director

Previous Next

Show Director supports DMX devices in two ways.  First by providing a simple way to address a DMX controller, channel and value for that channel.  The second is by providing specific devices where multiple channels are used.  Below we will provide example of how each can be used.


Show Director allows for DMX devices to be added to any show script.  Different actions can be specified using the existing columns in your script.  One requirement for the DMX devices is that the TYPE column in your script must be exactly one of the supported DMX types.


For example, the SimpleDMX type must be specified in the TYPE column as "SimpleDMX".  Case and spelling do count.  Other columns will contain the additional information based on the DMX command.
