Lumenradio develops a new wireless DMX platform combining CRMX and W-DMX standards

Starting from W-DMX and CRMX technologies, LumenRadio now presents a unified technology platform, creating a seamless experience for all wireless DMX users, with the goal of standardizing the industry and improving the experience.

For over a decade, LumenRadio has provided its CRMX (Cognitive Radio MultiPlex) wireless DMX technology. With the acquisition of Wireless Solution last year, they have both the technology W-DMX like the CRMX now taking a crucial step towards a new DMX standard.

The coexistence since 2008 of Wireless Solution's W-DMX and LumenRadio's CRMX technologies had led to an industry divided between the two main wireless DMX technologies.

In 2020 LumenRadio acquired Wireless Solution and together the two brands supply wireless DMX to almost the entire entertainment lighting industry. LumenRadio is now in a position where it can set an industry-wide standard that makes life easier for users of this technology.

Niclas Norlen, CTO of LumenRadio and inventor of W-DMX and CRMX, states that "our strategy has been to create the best user experience, making wireless DMX easy for all users to use. With our acquisition, we are now able to unify the entire industry on a single platform and establish a Wireless DMX standard."

The first step in unifying the technologies was the launch of Wireless Solution's BlackBox G6, which included optional CRMX. This made it possible for W-DMX users to control CRMX equipment for the first time, bringing the technologies one step closer. Now LumenRadio launches the next step on the market: a unified technological platform.

LumenRadio will provide all OEM customers, modules with combined W-DMX and CRMX technology. This means that all wireless DMX fixtures will support both W-DMX and CRMX at the same time, and will automatically select the protocol used by the transmitter.

With this new solution it will be possible to use either of the two protocols to control all the Wireless DMX luminaires on the market, regardless of whether W-DMX or CRMX is used. The user will not have to select the operating modes or configure the luminaires, everything will be configured automatically during pairing.

Josef Hederström, Sales Director at LumenRadio, explains that "with this new technology platform we are able to unify the industry that has been divided for so long. There is no need for multiple transmitters or incompatible technologies. LumenRadio supplies a wireless DMX solution that works with all luminaires."

In the future, all OEM customers integrating Wireless DMX will gain support for both CRMX and W-DMX, unifying the industry on a single technology platform. The solution is implemented in a selection of LumenRadio modules and is currently in testing. It will soon be available for new installations for OEM customers under both brands: Wireless Solution and LumenRadio.
