Description
Receives Bluetooth commands from the AsteraApp and sends RF signals to Astera lights. Also works as CRMX transmitter box. Comes with charger and carry case (able to fit 7" tablet inside).
The AsteraBox CRMX Transmitter Box from Astera acquires Bluetooth signal from the AsteraApp, then sends RF signals to the battery-powered light. The App lets you create complex colors, effects, and settings that will be remembered by the lights without a constant wireless link.
Monitoring works while you control lights by the app and also if lights are controlled via DMX. Set DMX addresses and profiles for one light or several lights. Fifty units can be prepared in less than five minutes. After the job, a quick master reset of all settings and lights makes them ready for the next event.
The AsteraBox works as a wireless 24 GHz DMX transmitter; just connect it with the included XLR adapter to your DMX console and you can transmit one DMX universe with the stable LumenRadio CRMX wireless protocol. The DMX module in Astera battery-powered PARs is compatible with CRMX and other wireless DMX standards, with the possible exceptions of W-DMX G5 and City Theatrical.
Simple commands like on/off, colors, preloaded effects, etc., can also be sent directly to the lights with Astera's infrared remote control. When programming lights with the AsteraApp, the IR remote can be used for confirming settings on individual lights. And AsteraBox CRMX has great monitoring capabilities enabling monitoring battery status, radio signal, DMX address, and which lights you have targeted. Diagnose individual lights and even get informed if a light is being moved or switched off.
