Creative Music Video Lighting | Tips for DMX Control

In this special Aputure episode, Valentina breaks down the lighting of a dance film, specifically with the DMX setup. A lot of times, DMX programming can seem intimidating and time-consuming, but Valentina and our lighting designer, Camilo Godoy, show you how it can be done with some Cintenna TX transmitters, RX receivers, and an iPad with Luminair 4. With DMX, we’re able to cue the lights to turn on/off, dim up on intensity, and even pulsate between different colors. There are important topics here about programming lights that we cover in the episode, such as daisy-chaining, DMX universes, and profiles.
