Decoders

A DMX LED decoder is a device that converts a DMX signal to PWM. This will let you control LED lighting such as LED strip lights and other lighting products from a DMX controller such as a stage lighting desk or a DMX wall panel.

Some decoders are also RDM compatible. RDM decoder settings can be adjusted from a DMX512 RDM controller. RDM or Remote Device Management allows two-way protocols from the device to the controller.

DMX or digital multiplex can be installed on your computer or laptop in the form of a program to control your DMX devices. The DMX decoders should be connected to a power supply to power them and also any product that is connected to them.

In DMX, the number 512 corresponds to the number of DMX channels that are available on a DMX device. A single-colour LED strip will take up one DMX address, whereas RGBW colour-changing strips will take up four DMX addresses, one address for each colour.

An LED Decoder DMX 512 setup is easy, the units have an interface that can be in the form of dip switches or control buttons and a digital display.
