About the VX01

The VX01 by VISO SYSTEMS® is a revolutionary new lighting controller for DMX controllable color changing lights. It provides the simplest, yet most powerful interface ever developed to control and multiple color changing LED fixtures in architectural lighting applications.

The VISO SYSTEMS® control system consists of the hardware interface, providing innovative and incredibly simple controls, allowing the user to customize and personalize a variety of architectural settings. This is possible thanks to the core of the VX01 controller, employing the most advanced control technology for intelligent luminaries currently available on the market The unit is delivered with 4 pre-programmed sequences which if desired can be modified by the powerful VISO SYSTEMS® VX01 software, Vdesigner, which makes use of the DMX 512 protocol for programming color-changing luminaries and for saving the dynamic sequences created. Once the color changing sequences have been stored in the VX01 interface, they can be played-back as they are, or they can be modified in real time, using simple manual adjustment systems, with no need of using the software again.

VX01 interface technical specifications:

• Digital interface for DMX 512 protocol (USITT 1990)
