16-Bit DMX 512 Receiver

InStyle’s 16-bit DMX receiver is a 4-channel decoder that can be linked (through DMX 512 protocol) to any DMX-compatible controller.
With default 16-bit frequency, this decoder offers greater granularity than our other 8-bit DMX receivers – which means smoother PWM dimming. The unit draws an input of either 12v or 24v, and will output up to 4 x 5A (5 amps per channel). The receiver is typically used to control RGB/RGBW products such as RGB LED tape, but you can also use it with single-colour LED tape.

This DMX receiver offers screwless connector terminals, so multiple boxes can be easily daisy-chained using cat-5 cable wired back to a controller. You can link together as many DMX receivers as you need, but bear in mind that you will need a signal-booster to boost the controller signal after 50 DMX receivers.

What is a DMX LED receiver – and why do I need one?
A DMX LED receiver is a controller receiver. With a DMX receiver, there is no limit to the number of receivers you can link together – which means no limit to the lights you can control off one single controller.

Each DMX receiver can be controlled individually or grouped together. This means the LED lights wired to one DMX receiver can do something different to the other DMX receivers around it. This can be extremely effective for DMX control of large projects such as bars, clubs, restaurants and theatres, where a programmer can pre-set lighting programmes through a linked PC desk.

If you’re looking for a simple DMX wall controller, InStyle LED also stocks a controller with a stainless steel wall-plate. This kind of DMX control is ideal for homes, bars, restaurants and much more. The wall controller comes complete with pre-programmed settings and is very simple to use.
