Best-in-Class Connectivity
Vortex fixtures are designed for flexible control, with a wide range of wired and wireless connectivity options for modern lighting workflows.
Grab control of the Vortex using the connectivity options below:
- Wired DMX: Full size, IP65 rated XLR5 connectors for DMX-512 control. These ports are opto-isolated for additional protection
- sACN: Streaming ACN over LAN connection. Up to four simultaneous sources of sACN can be received, with HTP (Highest Takes Precedence) merging. The LAN port is IP65 rated when used with matching Neutrik etherCON TOP connector
- CRMX: The Vortex includes an integrated LumenRadio TimoTwo module which supports both CRMX and CRMX2 for wireless control
- CRMX BLE: Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) control is available using Slyyd, Luminair or Blackout Apps, via the integrated LumenRadio TimoTwo module
- Accessory Port: The accessory port allows control using the CreamTwist Wired Remote, and connection of Camera Sync signal
Vortex24 Note: The Vortex24 includes two etherCON ports with a built-in 1Gb unmanaged network switch, allowing network control signals to pass through the fixture to additional network devices.
The Vortex will automatically prioritise the incoming control signals in the following order:
- Wired DMX
- sACN
- CRMX BLE / CRMX
- CreamTwist Remote
USB-A: The USB-A port is used for installing firmware updates, saving and loading fixture presets, and providing 500mA of power over USB.
