Abstract
A method and apparatus for a wirelessly controlled, battery powered, universal serial bus (USB) charged, digital multiplex (DMX) master controller with remote device management (RDM) capability. The DMX controller includes a single DMX interface for DMX mastering that is RDM compliant. The DMX controller includes an optional DMX interface that may be used to allow miscellaneous data transfer that may not only include light intensity control information, but other non-lighting control information between serially connected devices using only DMX as a form of communication in a “token ring” arrangement.
