Arbiter + Studio 512

Sophisticated Ethernet-based DMX controller and show creation software

Overview

Combining unparalleled performance, sophistication and versatility into an intuitive, easy-to-use platform, Arbiter represents the pinnacle of DMX control technology for small to medium size installations. Arbiter features two DMX universe outputs and stores approximately 255 shows created with Studio 512, Digilin’s show creation and device configuration software. Commands to play these shows are delivered by the manual interface, closed contact triggers, time scheduling and BMS system inputs (UDP broadcasts).

The device is configured via the administrator interface, in which users can group fixtures, schedule shows, program closed contact trigger commands, change device settings and monitor statuses, amongst other functions. The administrator interface is also accessible on Studio 512 on the ‘Device Config’ page. The user interface provides in-the-moment manual control, enabling users to play pre-programmed shows, turn fixture groups on/off or dim and set colour outputs. Each interface is independently password protected. Arbiter features eight closed contact triggers, empowering users to synchronize lighting effects with external events effortlessly; for example, by employing PIR sensors to trigger dynamic colour-change fades.

Arbiter operates on Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, streamlining setup and reducing clutter in your installation. The device’s intuitive display screen provides at-a-glance monitoring of device status and settings, even in low-light environments. Whether you’re designing dynamic colour-change shows for your building facade, managing public art installations, a community and events centre, or an interactive museum exhibit, Arbiter and Studio 512 offer unparalleled flexibility and accommodate even the most complex lighting configurations with ease.

Elevate your lighting experience to new heights with Arbiter & Studio 512 - where performance, sophistication and versatility are combined to make managing your DMX lighting installation simple and easy.

Arbiter is proudly designed and manufactured by Digilin in Australia.
