Description
ColorSource Relay combines power sequencing and data distribution in a portable plug-and-play format. Available with either City Theatrical Multiverse® wireless DMX technology or a hardwired DMX input, ColorSource Relay is ready to go with no programming required. If you want to personalize your setup, both models support RDM configuration and feedback.
ColorSource Relay is designed to conveniently mount to pipes, fixture yokes, or walls. As soon as the Relay begins receiving DMX signal, it switches on up to 16 A of supported fixtures. Auto-sequencing and zero-cross switching mitigate inrush nuisances automatically. When you are ready to call it a day, simply turn off your console and ColorSource Relay will automatically switch off after a userchangeable delay.
