What is DMX? You have probably heard something about this technology, but don’t know exactly what it is.
Today, we are going to explain what DMX is, and the applications it can have at hotels. Keep reading and discover why it is perfect for your project.
DMX is the acronym for Digital Multiplex, and it is a lighting control protocol, which allows users to have control over their lights. It was created in 1986 with subsequent revisions in 1990. We usually see it in shows, concerts or theatre plays because it gives the possibility to create amazing performances just with a DMX console.
At the beginning, DMX was developed to unify the incompatibility of the different light brands. At that moment, each brand had its own controller, and from the introduction of this technology the possibility of controlling everything from a single source. This way, the lighting sector got more freedom and flexibility.
Nowadays, the purpose of DMX goes even further. It gives the possibility to create a real light show just using a DMX console or the click of a mouse. Different parameters such as colour, position and intensity can be controlled without needing to know exactly how DMX works. However, there are some rules and techniques that will help to ensure a properly executed lighting setup.
At this point, maybe you are thinking why DMX can be a good choice for a hotel. There are multiple options; for example, most of the hotels offer night shows for guests. This system brings the opportunity to create more attractive shows, making the experience unforgettable.
Another option can be the bar. Every hotel has one, and this system offers the possibility to set up the lights in order to move to the music.
