Where you have power, you have a lighting position
The ColorSource Relay combines power sequencing and data distribution in a portable plug-and-play format. Its electrical relay provides safe, automatic power control for connected fixtures. With wired and Multiverse® wireless DMX options, it will reliably receive DMX signal nearly anywhere, even in crowded environments, and output wired DMX to connected fixtures.
With the ColorSource Relay, you have everything you need to control your lights wherever you want to put them.
A solution for every system
Whatever your system, ColorSource Relay makes power and data management easy.
If you have plenty of DMX ports, the hard-wired ColorSource Relay DMX is perfect to fine-tune your power distribution.
The ColorSource Relay Multiverse Receiver gives you wireless capabilities. It works with the first generation of ColorSource equipment, or with the new Multiverse technology.
A Multiverse SHoW Baby Transmitter sends one universe of DMX to receivers up to 100 meters away, with six selectable SHoW IDs. Unlocking the Multiverse options via RDM gives users access to 147 more SHoW IDs, ensuring a clean DMX signal no matter the environment.
For systems that need the most universes, the Multiverse Transmitter is capable of transmitting up to 10 universes of DMX over the 2.4 GHz bandwidth, perfect for ColorSource relay Multiverse Receivers. The Multiverse Transmitter can receive DMX via a 5-pin XLR connection or via sACN or ArtNet, thanks to a built-in ethernet port.
Both Wired and Multiverse Receiver models have power and data capabilities to handle up to 16 amps of connected fixtures. Auto-sequencing and zero-cross switching mitigate inrush nuisances automatically. Each Relay can support up to 32 DMX or RDM receivers.
Product Features
Receives DMX/RDM wirelessly via SHoW DMX or Multiverse (ColorSource Relay Multiverse Receiver) or via hard-wired 5-pin connector (ColorSource Relay DMX)
ColorSource Relay Multiverse Receiver operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency range
Hard-wired DMX/RDM out via 5-pin connector
Input voltage: 90–250 V; 47–63 Hz
Two-pole air-gap relay supports 208 V and Delta power applications
Auto sequencing: randomized turn-on delay in each relay ensures that no two turn on at the same time across a system
Zero-cross switching minimizes inrush draw
Choice of relay mode:
Auto Mode (default) - switches on when DMX/RDM signal is detected; switches off after signal is no longer detected
DMX Mode - switches on when DMX address is at or above 50%; switches off below 50%
RDM Mode - switches on via RDM command; switches off via RDM command or power cycle
RDM configuration via software such as ETC Concert or Eos; or via the ETC Set Light or City Theatrical DMXcat® apps for Multiverse Transmitter
USB port for easy software upgrades
Three mounting options: pipe, fixture yoke, and wall mount
