DMX Standard Wall Switch Controller User Guide
The DSC5V DMX controller uses a standard wall switch available with 1 - 4 switch(es) to
control a standard DMX lighting systems. Store up to 4 static scenes and then recall just by turning
on the respective switch. Easily turn on DMX controlled lights without having to turn on or use a
DMX lighting board or controller. For example switch 1 could be "Band Practice", switch 2 "Stage
Lights", switch 3 "Audience Lights", switch 4 "Balcony". Simply turn on any of the switches and the
pre recorded scene will turn on the DMX lights, with an optional 5 second fade. If the "Merge"
function is turned off then any DMX input will override the switches and take control allowing a
DMX controller to control the lights. Turn off the DMX controller and the switches again are
operable. The switch/scenes are HTP (highest takes precedence) merged with each other allowing
any or all switches to turn on it's respective scene. DMX scenes are easily recorded to any of the
switches from the front of the unit.
