Recording
The DMX Core 100 can record DMX data from external sources (lighting software, consoles, etc.) and save it as cues or presets for later playback.
Recording on the Touchscreen
Navigate to Main Menu > Utilities > Record.
-
Press Preview to start listening for ArtNet or sACN packets (depending on output configuration). The universe IDs are taken from the output configuration. Any active playback will be stopped.
-
You’ll see a graphical representation of all the DMX channels per universe during preview:
-
While previewing, choose what to record:
- Preset — Captures a single snapshot of the current DMX state
- Cue — Records a full show (dynamic sequence) until you stop recording
-
Press Save to save the recording. You can rename it later from the Cues or Presets list.
Use the Stop button to stop preview without capturing anything.
Recording in the Web UI
In the Web UI, go to Utilities > Record. The Web UI recording interface provides additional features:
- Input mapping configuration — Configure which input sources (ArtNet, sACN, DMX-512, KiNet) to listen to and which universes to capture
- Real-time monitoring — View incoming DMX data as it arrives
- Audio association — Link an audio file to a cue during recording
Input Sources
The DMX Core 100 can record from the following input sources:
| Source | Description |
|---|---|
| ArtNet | Network DMX protocol (UDP) |
| sACN (E1.31) | Network DMX protocol (multicast/unicast) |
| DMX-512 | Direct DMX input via optional 2-port DMX board |
| KiNet | Color Kinetics network protocol |
Input Triggers for Recording
You can also configure input triggers to start recording automatically when a specific event occurs — for example, when a DMX channel exceeds a threshold value, or when an OSC message is received.
