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.

These devices can be used in alteration of colors in studios, in entertainment halls, and even in the architectural projects. This makes the colors to be effectively interchanged and their color magnified and even made brighter. In these show presentation they are used in ushering in and out performers. They can also be used to show break in the course of performance.

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 merge mode involves the connection of the two controllers on the same address line one after the other. The two devices get to have the same priority over the line. To however to determine which of the two will be able to send the signal they install the two controllers with the dip-switch. This is the device that assists in giving authority to the device over the address line.

In the direct mode, the two controllers are connected to be bypassing the address line. This is a mode that does not fail and it is controlled by the switching between the two available controllers. It is the switch that decides on which of the available controllers should have control over the address line. When in possession of the line it has all the right of sending signals.

When the device in control of the line experiences a problem, the other one is given the opportunity to take over the line. This ensures that the performance proceeds without any form of destruction. This therefore intensifies the performance in the entertainment sector and other areas like the studios.

The controllers that are inter-merged are usually produced to support customized integration. This makes it easy for one to upgrade it to fit in different organization and institutions. That is way their functionality ranges from both the construction project all the way to the entertainment field. Depending on the area, one has to make the best selection because not all of these devices can be able to be applied effectively.Application can be based in various areas.

Depending on the mode of operation there can be a lot of areas that the device can be applied. This however depends greatly on what functions the device is required to meet and in what way it is expected to meet this functions. The functioning of the dmx merger therefore greatly depends on the field where it is applied. But majorly its main function is to be able to connect two different signals to be output as one in order to increase its functionality.
