Astera System
A smart lighting control system where Infrared remote, wireless DMX and app work together to enable big setups on stage & events that can be set up, monitored and adjusted in a fast and convenient way.
Control Fixtures
Create complex programs out of colors, effects and settings. The fixtures will remember and repeat these effects without requiring a constant wireless link. Quickly create groups of lights, assign positions and select which fixtures should receive commands.
Monitor Lights
Keep a complete overview over the status and all settings of your
fixtures while you operate them.
View battery status, radio signal, DMX address and which stage lights or
fixture you have targeted.
Diagnose individual fixtures and even get informed if one is being moved
or switched off.
This works while you control lights by the app but also if lights are
controlled via DMX.
Set-Up Faster
Set up your entertainment fixtures conveniently out of the distance.
Set DMX address and DMX footprint for one or several fixtures; over 50
units can be prepared in less than 5 minutes out of a distance.
After your job, do a quick master reset of all settings or a partial one
of only selected settings.
LumenRadio
The AsteraBox works as a wireless DMX transmitter; just connect it with the included XLR adapter to your DMX console and you can transmit 1 DMX universe with CRMX technology, the most stable Wireless DMX protocol available in the Stage Lighting and entertainment industry.
Full Compatibility
Astera fixtures can be controlled by LumenRadio CRMX transmitters and
also by W-DMX from wireless solutions (up to G4S).
These Battery Operated Fixtures support both wireless DMX standards so
you can use them together with almost all other wireless fixtures and
transmitters.
Simple commands like ON/OFF, colors, preloaded effects etc can be sent
with our infrared remote control directly to the fixtures.
When programming lights with the AsteraApp, the IR remote can be used
for confirming settings on individual entertainment fixtures.
