The v-Xt1143/DMX is a 4K Ultra high definition video player DMX combination kit with video input, Gbit Ethernet, GPIO, analog/digital audio out, IR In/out, USB-A, USB-C and RS-232. From the smallest school auditorium to the largest theaters on Broadway, virtually every theater in the world has at least a simple lighting control board, and virtually all lighting control boards output DMX-512 to run the dimmers and fixtures.

The v-Xt1143/DMX is a combination of the v-Xt1143 video player, the v-Hd-to-DMX and v-HdGilderScript allows anyone to add synchronized audio and high definition video to any venue with DMX-512 in it, all without any programming or arcane knowledge beyond writing a simple lighting cue. You just drag-n-drop all your video content into specially-named folders on an Sd flash card, stick that card into your v-Xt1143 video player, and plug the player and v-Hd-to-DMX into the DMX-512 network just like any other dimmer or light fixture. You can run as many video players as you have DMX-512 channels.

When your light board operator runs their lighting cues, not only does it control the lights, but at the appropriate points it calls up and plays the videos and audio. If the cue bumps the DMX-512 address assigned to the v-Hd-to-DMX to a value of 10, the v-Xt1143 player will play whatever video(s) it finds in the folder named ‘playlist 010’. If the cue bumps the channel to a value of 25, the v-Xt1143 player plays the video content in the folder named ‘playlist 025’. It's that easy! Since it is running from the same controller as the lights, everything will be in sync performance after performance.
