Overview

The LanBox-LCX is an extremely versatile DMX controller suited for nearly any DMX-512 lighting application. Whether it should run a show stand-alone, controlling up to 6 universes (3072 DMX channels) using an Ethernet network, synchronized via MIDI or connected to a notebook via USB, with the LanBox-LCX it’s all possible!

Applications

The LanBox-LCX can be used for applications like: theatre, recreation, art, shows promotional, music, museums, MIDI, exhibitions, etc. It has built-in show control software and large nonvolatile memory, so you can run your lighting show completely standalone, external triggered via MIDI, USB, network (TCP/IP and AppleTalk) or sensors or just with LCedit+ on a personal computer. Bundled software includes LCedit+ a graphical lighting editor for MacOS, OSX and Windows 2000/XP.Specifications of LanBox-LCX
