Wireless DMX Controller
for Stadiums and Outdoor Venues

Wired DMX Wasn't Built for Outdoor Venues

DMX512 is the gold standard for professional entertainment lighting — but the protocol was designed for indoor stages and fixed installations. Applying it to outdoor sports facilities means running data conduit from every fixture back to a central DMX rack, often spanning thousands of feet across a single facility.

For a 20-pole athletic complex, that's potentially 8–10 labor hours per pole just for data cable runs — before a single fixture is mounted. Add trenching for outdoor installations and the cost compounds quickly. Even gateway-based wireless DMX alternatives only shift the problem: now the entire venue depends on a single hub that can take the whole system down if it fails or loses power.

Power to Each Pole — That's It

Each pole receives only a standard power connection. No data conduit, no signal cable, no home runs. The Hyperion™ controller at each pole handles all DMX output to local fixtures.

FusionMesh™ Carries DMX Wirelessly

The FusionMesh™ radio layer propagates control data across all poles simultaneously. Each controller receives scene and cue data with 2–5ms pole-to-pole timing — matching the perceptual threshold of hardwired DMX.

Each Pole Outputs Full DMX512

The Hyperion™ controller outputs a complete DMX512 universe at the pole — 512 channels, up to 44 Hz refresh rate. Every fixture on that pole receives its DMX address assignments and control values directly, with no gateway in the chain.

Schedules Stored Locally

All cue lists, scene programs, and scheduling logic are stored directly on the pole controllers — not in the cloud. The system runs autonomously without internet access. Power the venue on; lights execute as programmed.

DMX512-A (ANSI E1.11)

• · 512 channels per universe per pole output
• · Up to 44 Hz DMX refresh rate
• · 8-bit (0–255) channel resolution per fixture
• · Compatible with any standard DMX512 fixture
• · No proprietary fixture lock-in

RDM — Remote Device Management

• · Bidirectional communication with RDM-capable fixtures
• · Remote fixture discovery without site walk
• · Remote DMX address assignment and verification
• · Fixture status and fault diagnostics
• · Lamp hours and thermal monitoring (where supported)

FusionMesh™ Transport Layer

• · 2–5ms pole-to-pole synchronization latency
• · Frequency hopping spread spectrum RF
• · Automatic channel selection to avoid interference
• · Self-healing mesh — no single point of failure
• · 100% offline — no internet required at any point

No external board required. Other wireless DMX systems act as wireless transmitters — they still need a separate DMX console or show controller to generate cue data. Hyperion™ stores and executes cue lists internally. No console, no rack, no additional hardware.

DMX is not universal among wireless sports lighting controls. Per-fixture cloud-subscription platforms use proprietary dimming protocols — not DMX512. If you need full DMX512 + RDM for dynamic entertainment, architectural, or broadcast lighting, Hyperion™ is the only purpose-built outdoor wireless option.

Entertainment Lighting Effects

Dynamic color sequences, synchronized chase effects, and programmed light shows for halftime displays, team introductions, and community events. The same wireless DMX controller that runs white sports lighting can deliver broadcast-quality effects without additional hardware.

Broadcast & TV Production

Precise, repeatable DMX scene execution for broadcast events where camera exposure and color temperature consistency are critical. Hyperion™'s 2–5ms synchronization ensures every pole transitions simultaneously — eliminating the visible color lag that plagues poorly synchronized systems on broadcast footage.

Architectural & Facade Lighting

Large-scale architectural lighting programs for stadium facades, concourse lighting, and perimeter features. Schedule-driven DMX sequences run automatically based on time-of-day, day-of-week, or triggered events — all without internet connectivity.

Emergency & Safety Scenes

Pre-programmed emergency lighting scenes — full-bright override, evacuation lighting, or perimeter lighting — can be triggered instantly across all poles simultaneously. Because the system operates offline and locally, emergency scenes execute even during internet or network outages.

What DMX512 universe capacity does Hyperion™ provide per pole?

Each Hyperion™ pole controller outputs a full DMX512 universe — 512 channels — making it capable of addressing multiple fixtures per pole with full per-channel control. For large installations, each pole operates its own universe, and FusionMesh™ synchronizes timing across all poles simultaneously.

Does wireless DMX have more latency than wired DMX?

Not perceptibly. Hyperion™ uses FusionMesh™ to achieve 2–5ms pole-to-pole synchronization latency — well within the range where the human eye cannot distinguish from a hardwired DMX run. Standard wired DMX512 has a refresh cycle of approximately 22ms; Hyperion™ wireless DMX operates within that same perceptual window.

Can Hyperion™ replace an existing wired DMX system?

Yes. Hyperion™ is designed as a full replacement for wired DMX home-run installations. The pole controllers drive the same fixture types and accept the same DMX addressing schemes. The transition typically eliminates all inter-pole data conduit while retaining full compatibility with existing DMX fixtures.

How does Hyperion™ handle RF interference in outdoor environments?

FusionMesh™ uses frequency hopping spread spectrum and automatic channel selection to avoid interference from WiFi, cellular, and other unlicensed-band devices. Beyond interference avoidance, FusionMesh™ is RF-efficient by design: one coordinated transmitter per pole rather than one per fixture means fewer radios competing for airtime. A 12-pole venue runs 12 mesh nodes — not 96 or more. This reduced RF footprint makes coexistence with other wireless systems significantly easier in the dense spectrum environment of a large sports venue.

Does Hyperion™ support RDM for fixture management?

Yes. Hyperion™ fully supports RDM (Remote Device Management, ANSI E1.20) over FusionMesh™, enabling bidirectional communication with RDM-capable fixtures. This includes remote fixture discovery, address assignment, status polling, and diagnostic data — all from the control interface without any site walk.
