Product Overview

FilmGrade™ DMX LED Dimmer / Decoder is a professional DMX-512 decoder that boasts the best dimming performance in the industry. The decoder takes a low-voltage DC power source input (12-24V DC) and produces 5 separate channels of high-frequency flicker-free PWM output to control LED brightness level. The output signal is controlled via DMX-512 with a wide range of interface compatibility, or using the control interface directly on the unit.

The unit has an unprecedented level of PWM control and capability:

PWM Frequency is adjustable and can be set anywhere between 500 Hz (industry standard) through 30 kHz. High PWM frequency ensures that light output for use in all video and photography applications results in completely flicker-free images.

PWM Resolution can be set at either 8-bit (industry standard) or 16-bit. 16-bit PWM provides more than 250x the dimming level precision vs 8-bit PWM. Increased PWM resolution results in smaller dimming steps, which provides smoother dimming and eliminates “jumps” between brightness levels, particularly when near 0% brightness.

PWM Gamma Value can be adjusted between 0.1 to 9.9, giving you full control over the dimming curve. Don’t like how brightness ramps up too quickly in the beginning but “plateaus” past 60%? Simply increase the gamma value to achieve a flatter dimming curve.

This product is capable of providing up to 40 Amps of power (8 Amps per channel), and is the perfect complement to FilmGrade™ FiveSpect™ 5-in-1 LED strips.
