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: 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.
