Visitors to the amazing city of Philadelphia will not fail to notice the lovely parks, a variety of historical monuments, and the large number of murals that seem to adorn every road and square in this metro of brotherly love. Those who travel there during the Christmas season are in for a very pleasant surprise; the city's amazing light shows, which would not be possible without the aid of a DMX Merge controller, a small machine that punches above its size.
These machines may be small, but without them, concerts, discos, even architectural lighting would a lot less interesting. It all starts with lights linked together to form a single channel, with each having an individual hue. These are connected to a controller, with each hue having its own. A single operator can handle one or two colors, but this would make for a poor light show. To control more colours, the amazing piece of equipment is needed.
Each controller from the different channels is joined to the amazing machine, making it possible to control a large number of lights from one place. Apart from the obvious convenience, this piece of equipment helps operators minimize mistakes, and quickly find out the root of any problems that may occur. Another benefit of these machines is that they can be connected to a computer, further enhancing their abilities.
There are several types of mergers. The first is the do it yourself kind, leveraging the power of microprocessors that can be found in several electronics shops. The beauty of this is the low cost; a relatively robust system can be made for a relatively low cost. Unfortunately, one must have some advanced knowledge in electronics and soldering in order to pull this off. Another problem may be getting the right parts.
Those without the ability to make these mergers for themselves have no option but to buy them from electronics stores. There will be several types of these machines in an outlet. Those with few needs and little cash may be best served by a lower end merger.
Mid range mergers, on the other hand, create a balance between features, performance and price. Such machines typically have at least one microphone input, a Universal Serial Bus port, a firewire port among other features. These are satisfactory to most users, while also being relatively easy on pocket. They can also be programmed, or even connected to a computer for enhanced performance.
More expensive DMX Merge controllers come with an extensive range of features. These include front and back microphone inputs, extensive programmability, all manner of indicator lights, slim cases, ability to operate across a wide voltage range, several Universal Serial Bus ports, and the ability to link with computers.
High speed Universal Serial Bus and fire wire ports, the ability to accept extremely complex instructions, several microphone inputs among other features characterize higher end DMX Merge controllers. A number will even have the so called Thunderbolt ports, giving them the ability to link with ultra modern computers, particularly those from Apple, which come with this port as standard. Mergers in this category are generally expensive, sometimes costing thousands of dollars.
