DMX-Controlled Power

Absolutely. Our panelboards are engineered for reliability in demanding professional environments. We use robust, motorized breakers, such as the Square D Powerlink breakers in our LCP panels, which are rated for 200,000 on/off cycles. This ensures dependable, long-term performance for applications with frequent power cycling, including performance venues, broadcast studios, and touring rigs.

Yes, our intelligent panels are designed for multi-protocol environments. Products like the RPC, LCP, and NPAC can respond to DMX, sACN, IP (Telnet/HTTP), and dry contact closure inputs simultaneously. This allows for a layered control strategy. For example, you can use DMX for show-specific cues from a lighting console, an IP-based system for building automation, and a contact closure for a simple wall switch or fire alarm integration, all on the same panel.

Yes, following DMX-512 best practices is critical for reliable communication. A DMX terminator (a 120-ohm resistor) should always be placed on the last device in a DMX chain. Our XLR accessories include options for termination, allowing you to properly complete the DMX signal path at the final wall plate or panel connection point. This prevents signal reflections that can cause erratic control behavior.

No, a gateway is not required. Our DMX-controlled products are designed with native DMX and RDM intelligence. You can connect them directly to your existing DMX network, and they will be discoverable and addressable from any standard lighting console. This approach simplifies the system architecture and removes a potential point of failure.

No, a gateway is not required. The LCRP features a native DMX512 input, allowing it to connect directly to your lighting control network. This simplifies system design, reduces potential points of failure, and makes programming more straightforward for lighting technicians, as the panel’s relays appear as simple single-channel fixtures in the console patch.

Each motorized breaker in an LC Series panel is addressed using simple jumpers on its control board. You set the DMX start address for the first breaker, and each subsequent controlled breaker is automatically assigned the next sequential address. This design simplifies commissioning and makes it easy to integrate into your lighting control system without complex software configuration.

The LCRP is controlled directly via DMX512. Each 30A relay is assigned a single DMX address. You can set the starting DMX address for the panel, and the relays will occupy a consecutive block of channels. A DMX value of 128 or higher will close the relay (On), and a value of 127 or lower will open it (Off). This allows for simple, direct control from any standard lighting console.

Our lighting ecosystem components are engineered to integrate directly with professional lighting consoles and automation systems using standard protocols. Products like the Dual DMX Relay (DDR) offer native DMX and RDM control, allowing for plug-and-play connectivity. This eliminates the need for gateways or custom programming, simplifying system design and commissioning.

Modules act as dedicated communication interfaces for your power control panel. For example, installing a DMX control module allows the panel to receive signals directly from a lighting console, enabling individual circuit control within a DMX universe.

Similarly, a BACnet module integrates the panel into a building management system (BMS), exposing power control and status monitoring to the central building automation network. Each module is purpose-built to translate a specific protocol into commands for the panel’s internal controller.

Our power control systems are engineered for seamless integration. Products like the RPC, LCP, and NPAC feature native support for common AV and lighting protocols, including IP (Telnet/HTTP), DMX, and sACN. This allows them to connect directly to control systems from Crestron, AMX, and Q-SYS without requiring custom drivers or complex programming.

Most of our network-enabled panels also include a built-in web server, providing a simple browser interface for setup, monitoring, and direct control from any connected device.

Our DMX-enabled products offer native support for DMX512, RDM, and sACN protocols. This allows you to connect panels like the RPC, LCP, or NPAC directly to your lighting network without needing gateways or protocol converters. Power control for individual circuits or zones appears as a standard fixture on your lighting console, simplifying programming and reducing system latency.

This direct integration streamlines your infrastructure by allowing lighting designers and technicians to manage power cues from the same familiar control surface they use for lighting, creating a unified and more responsive system.

Our panels are engineered for direct integration. Native support for DMX, sACN, and IP (Telnet/HTTP) allows seamless connection to lighting consoles and AV control systems like Crestron and AMX without external protocol converters. For building management integration, RPC panels also offer an optional BACnet IP interface, simplifying facility-wide automation.

LynTec systems provide flexible DMX addressing. You can assign a unique DMX address to every individual circuit for granular control. Alternatively, you can group multiple circuits into zones within the panel’s web interface. Each zone can then be assigned a single DMX start address, allowing you to control an entire group of circuits from one channel on your console.

This flexibility supports various programming styles, whether you need to control a single moving light’s power or trigger a full stage power-up sequence with a single cue.

Our DMX control ecosystem is designed to be scalable. For distributed or portable applications, the IP-rated DDR Dual DMX Relay provides two controllable outputs right at the fixture location. For equipment racks, the NPAC offers multi-circuit relay control in a 2RU chassis.

For facility-wide power management, our LCP and RPC series breaker panels integrate DMX control directly at the circuit level for 30 to 168 circuits. This modular approach allows you to specify the right level of control exactly where it is needed, all managed on the same lighting network.

Our network-enabled panels provide native support for the most common protocols used in AV and lighting. This includes IP (Telnet/HTTP), sACN, and DMX. This broad compatibility ensures direct integration with lighting consoles and automation systems right out of the box. For projects requiring building management system integration, optional BACnet support is available on our RPC panel series.

Our wall-mount panels are designed for seamless integration into modern control ecosystems. They can be managed via IP (Telnet, HTTP, or our web-based GUI), DMX512, and sACN. This allows for direct control from AV control systems like Crestron, AMX, and Q-SYS, as well as lighting consoles and building automation systems, providing flexible and reliable system-wide power management.

Our XLR accessories are designed to maintain signal integrity for any standard 3-pin or 5-pin XLR-based control protocol. They are primarily used for DMX-512 and RDM to trigger sequences and control zones on compatible LynTec panels. The robust construction ensures that the physical connection is reliable, allowing your chosen control protocol to communicate without interference or signal loss.

RPC panels are designed for flexible integration. They include native support for IP (HTTP, Telnet), DMX, sACN, and RS-232 control protocols. For integration with building management systems, an optional BACnet IP interface is also available. This allows the RPC to fit into nearly any existing control ecosystem.

The XPC system is built for flexible integration into modern control environments. The XPC controller natively supports IP (Telnet), DMX, and sACN for direct control from lighting consoles or AV control systems like Crestron or AMX. It also includes a contact closure interface for simple, dry-contact activation from third-party systems or basic wall switches.

Our value relay and retrofit solutions are designed for seamless integration into existing AV and lighting systems. They primarily use industry-standard protocols like DMX and RDM for lighting control, as seen in our DDR relay. For broader system integration, many of our retrofit controllers also support RS-232 serial commands. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of third-party control systems.

LCP panels are engineered for seamless lighting system integration with native support for DMX, sACN, and IP (TCP/IP). This allows direct connection to any modern lighting console or control system without requiring external protocol converters or gateways.

Each panel also includes an integrated web server, allowing for setup, monitoring, and control from any standard web browser on the network.

Our network-enabled sequencers (RPC, NPAC, XPC series) are designed for broad compatibility. They feature a built-in web server for direct setup and control via IP. Native support for DMX, sACN, and Telnet allows for seamless integration with professional lighting consoles and AV control systems from manufacturers like Crestron and AMX.

Additionally, standard contact closure inputs enable simple control from wall switches, sensors, or life-safety systems.

The NPAC is designed for broad compatibility with professional AVL and lighting control systems. It natively supports control via IP (Telnet/HTTP), DMX512, and sACN. It also includes a contact closure interface for simple on/off control from basic switches or relays. This flexibility allows it to integrate directly into systems from Crestron, AMX, Q-SYS, and most lighting consoles without requiring extra hardware or protocol converters.

The control logic is simple and intuitive for lighting programmers. For each assigned DMX address, a value of 127 or lower sends an ‘off’ command to the breaker. A value of 128 or higher sends an ‘on’ command. This clear threshold makes programming from any standard lighting console quick and reliable.

If the DMX signal is lost, the LC Series breakers are designed to hold their last state. This feature ensures that lighting or other controlled loads are not unintentionally turned on or off during a signal interruption from the console. This provides stable and predictable performance in any live environment.

Remote Device Management (RDM) simplifies the setup and commissioning of our DMX-enabled products. Using an RDM-capable controller, you can remotely discover LynTec devices on the DMX line, identify them, and set their DMX start address without needing to physically access the panel or relay. This is especially useful for devices installed in hard-to-reach locations, such as a DDR relay on a lighting truss or a panel in a crowded electrical closet. RDM helps reduce installation time and simplifies system maintenance.
