The Use Of The DMX Merger

By Lela Perkins


The uses of the DMX merger are very broad both in the entertainment and in architectural projects. This device is usually made up of two controllers that are connected together. The controller is an electronic device that enables two or more signals to be combined together. They are then processed by a very fast microprocessor that ensures minimum delay in the inputs and outputs. The LED is then used to indicate which of the device is out putting signals and at which time.

The main modes that are used in these operations are the Mix and the direct mode. The mix mode sounds out an alarm if the device that currently possesses the address line fails to function. This controller usually maintains the last state of input.

Different mergers have different mode of modes of operation. This includes the High Take precedence, the backup, and the merge mode. The high precedence mode involves two controllers that are connected to the same address line. A little competition takes place and the device that has a higher priority takes over the line and it is the one that gets the opportunity to send signal.

The HTP mode of operation assists both the controllers that are merged to present their signals on the screen depending on the one that has the high priority. The one that is in control of the line is usually the one that has the highest priority at that moment. The two controllers therefore compete to have control over the address line by trying to possess that highest priority.

The functioning of the dmx merger can also be in the back-up mode. This is where the devices are connected to the same address line but one is given priority over the other. The one having the priority is given the opportunity of sending its signals while the other is kept inactive.

The other device is therefore left in a non-operating mode as the other does all the functions that are needed to take place. When the one that has a high priority fails to function, the other one is automatically made to take over the functions. The time elapse between the break down and the backup device taking over is so short that one can not realize it.

This device can be applied in both the entertainment industry and the construction industry by the architecture. In the entertainment industry, the device is used for live music, shows, and videos. This makes them an important feature in places like the cinema halls, studios, and concert halls.

During the entertainment process these lights can be interchanged in intensity and color to be able to represent a break. This is very important practice as it is able to break the tight flow of events. These breaks give the person or audience time to partly move to the real world before the show can continue. The use of the DMX merger in this case therefore makes the audience to be more alert and attentive.
