The AsteraBox Wi-Fi CRMX Transmitter | Asterafrom AsteraBox Wi-Fi CRMX Transmitter | Asterais designed to support Wi-Fi connectivity as an additional wireless protocol that works with Astera lights when using your phone or tablet. It offers CRMX, Bluetooth, UHF, and Wi-Fi protocols to control Astera lights via AsteraApp or wireless DMX. Just like its predecessor, this AsteraBox also acquires a Bluetooth signal from the AsteraApp, then sends RF signals to the light. The AsteraApp lets you create complex colors, effects, and settings that will be remembered by the lights without a constant wireless link. Quickly create groups of lights, assign positions, and select which lights should receive commands. The AsteraBox Wi-Fi also allows you to control select Astera lights and other CRMX-enabled fixtures from a DMX controller. It can be used either as a transmitter or receiver of wireless DMX.

This AsteraBox works as a wireless 2.4 GHz DMX transmitter; just connect it with the included XLR adapter to your DMX console, and you can transmit one DMX universe with the stable LumenRadio CRMX wireless protocol. If needed, the AsteraBox Wi-Fi can also be used as a receiver of wireless DMX.

Monitoring works while you control lights by the AsteraApp and also if lights are controlled via DMX. Set DMX addresses and profiles for one light or several lights. After the job, a quick master reset of all settings and lights makes them ready for the next event.

Keep a complete overview of the status and all settings of your lights while you operate them. View battery status, radio signal, DMX address, and which lights you have targeted. Diagnose individual lights and even get informed if a light is being moved or switched off. This works while you control lights by the app or via DMX.

Thanks to its integrated battery and compact design, the AsteraBox Wi-Fi is easy to carry. The device's internal battery lasts up to 60 hours when connected to the app or up to 18 hours with CRMX.

The AsteraBox is compatible with the HydraPanel, Titan Tube, PixelBrick, NYX Bulb, AX9 PowerPAR, AX5 TriplePAR, Helios Tube, Hyperion Tube, AX2 PixelBars, AX3 LightDrop, AX10 SpotMax, PlutoFresnel, and LeoFresnel fixtures.

The AsteraBox Wi-Fi has a durable aluminum IP20 housing.

The app requires Bluetooth 4.2 to connect to the AsteraBox Wi-Fi.

A: This Astera uses it's own App and is compatible with the CRMX protocol.

Q: 2. can it be used with DigiGear Slim SD/Wi-Fi SD, so i can add this to older Canon EOS to make transfers of pictures only?

A: It is our understanding that the Canon W-E1 does not work with this reader. There is very little information as to what Wi-Fi cards do work. We have one report that these work. https://www.toshiba-memory.com/products/flashair-w-03/

Q: 3. Titans are not listed for compatibility. Are they?

A: Yes, Astera AsteraBox CRMX Transmitter Box will work with the following units. ASTE20 AX1 Astera AX1 Astera AX9 Astera FP6 Astera Helios Tube FP2 Astera Titan Tube FP1

Q: 4. Is support planned for the new Canon 5D Mark IV (or does it not need it)?

A: Canon 5D Mark IV has already built-in Wifi and NFX support. You don't need it.

Q: 5. Cf to sad adapter

A: I am not sure what you are asking. Please email your question with a better explanation to askbh@bhphoto.com for assistance.

Q: 6. DOES W-E1 ADAPTER WORKS WITH CANON 60d CAMERA?

A: Unfortunately no, it is not compatible with the 60D. To add wi-fi to the 60D, you could use an accessory such as this Vello Extenda: https://bhpho.to/3waGbMy

Q: 7. Can I use this with 3 pin dmx?

A: Yes, the Astera AsteraBox CRMX Transmitter Box can work with 3 pin DMX. But you will need a 3 to 5 pin dmx adapter. There are many options. This is a few, https://bhpho.to/435al1f .

Q: 8. Is there a Canon Remote control iOS app (for iPhone) that allows remote control of the Canon 5DSR with this? Does it allow live view, image stacking, intervalometer functions, etc. like the Fuji app?

A: The W-E1 works with the Canon's Camera Connect mobile app. It will allow you to control, EOS 7D Mark II, EOS 5DS and the EOS 5DS R.At this time we do not have a list of all the features.

Q: 9. Has anyone experience asterabox not charging? I now own 4 and 2 of them won't charge.

A: I have contacted the manufacturer for a 2nd time and there is still no response to my question regarding 2 NON CHARGING ASTERA BOXES. I was curious to what was the defect in 2 consecutive ASTERA BOXES that I purchased. And after further investigation the soldiering of the wire to board connectors both were no longer attached to the circuit board. So if anyone is having this problem also, here is your answer. Clearly this is a defect because I have a third Astera box doing the same thing. My 4th ASTERA BOX I purchased just doesnt hold a charge all day which shouldnt be the case.

Q: 10. How many lights can you control with this single unit?

A: The AsteraBox works as a wireless 2.4 GHz DMX transmitter. Just connect it with the included XLR adapter to your DMX console and you can transmit one DMX universe with LumenRadio CRMX technology. A universe consists of 512 channels. So, it depends on how many channels each light needs.

[12 Hour] The more I'm around these systems the more I like them and find new ways to utilize them. Youl'll discover that some competitors gear works on these wireless networks! Obvious my titans and Helios are at home here!

[3.96 lb] Truly the best clamp on the market for rigging Astera tubes, especially when used with the Astera Wing Plates. They’re low profile and secure, both required when rigging your expensive tubes over talent on set.

[Aluminum] Expensive but needed to make the astera work at their full potential
Love the fact that the nyx bulbs can be a back up if needed

[2.4 GHz] Pros:
- You can actually configure the tube holders on either end in multiple positions to create different shapes/patterns with Astera tubes.
- The connection between the tube holders and the wingplate is very snug and secure.
- Can be combined with multiple accessories like the astera crossplate, mafer clamps, eye-bolts
- Has a section to attach a carabiner for safety


Cons:
- When you attach a threaded adapter on the back (like the Astera double-ended spigot) there is no locking mechanism to keep it from coming undone.
- The Tube Holders that you use with the wingplate are very snug and secure, but also can scratch up the exterior of the lights. (This is a very nitpicky cosmetic issue, not a functional issue)
- You need multiple accessories to use this. i.e. the tube holders, the double-ended spigot, the crossplate, mafer clamps, etc.




I bought these and showed them to a friend who had bought T-12 holders instead to save money, he bought these the next day.

[2.4 GHz] It's expensive, but worth it to part out your tubes into sets of 4. It's also a lot lighter than the hard case.
