What Changes With Wireless RGB

Your Venue Becomes Part of the Experience

Most outdoor sports facilities treat lighting as infrastructure — turn it on for the game, turn it off when it's over. Hyperion™ changes that model. A wireless RGB lighting controller turns every pole into a programmable light source, capable of running team color shows, holiday programs, and dynamic event lighting that no wired or gateway-based system could deliver at this scale.

The result is a venue that visually communicates — rivalry game colors on Friday night, holiday programs on community event evenings, broadcast-synchronized sequences for televised games. All without touching the lighting rack, without internet connectivity, and without a subscription fee.

How Hyperion™ Delivers Wireless RGB Control

DMX512 is the standard protocol for RGB fixture control. Hyperion™ carries it wirelessly over FusionMesh™ with 2–5ms latency.

RGB Channel Mapping

Each RGB fixture receives three DMX channels: red, green, and blue (plus white for RGBW). Hyperion™ addresses and drives each channel independently at full 8-bit resolution (0–255 per channel), enabling 16.7 million color combinations per fixture.

R 0–255 G 0–255 B 0–255 W optional
Scene & Cue Storage

Color scenes — named snapshots of every fixture's RGB values — are stored directly on each pole controller. Cue sequences (ordered lists of scenes with timed transitions) execute automatically based on schedules or manual triggers. All of this is stored on the hardware, not in the cloud.

2–5ms Synchronization

FusionMesh™ propagates scene-change commands to all poles within 2–5ms. This means a color transition on pole 1 and pole 40 arrive so close together the human eye perceives them as simultaneous — critical for chase effects and synchronized shows that look wrong with any visible desync.

Fixture Compatibility

Any DMX512-compatible RGB or RGBW fixture works with Hyperion™. No proprietary hardware, no approved fixture lists, no vendor lock-in. Up to 170 RGB fixtures (3ch) per pole on a single 512-channel DMX universe.

Use Cases

What Venues Do With Wireless RGB Control

From weekly game nights to annual community events — Hyperion™ wireless RGB lighting gives venues a programmable tool for every occasion.

School & Team Colors

Pre-program your school's primary and secondary colors as named scenes. On game nights, recall "Home Game" — the venue floods with school colors from tip-off to final buzzer. For rivalry games, set up automated light sequences that fire when events trigger. No technician required once scenes are programmed.

Spirit nights Rivalry games Playoffs

Holiday & Seasonal Programs

Schedule-driven RGB programs run automatically based on date ranges — no manual intervention. Program red and green for December, orange and black for October, red, white, and blue for July. The system activates at sunset, runs through the programmed cue sequence, and shuts off on schedule. Year-round community engagement, automated.

Seasonal calendars Holiday themes

Player & Team Intro Sequences

Dynamic pre-game and halftime light shows that build anticipation and elevate the in-stadium experience. Chase sequences across all poles, synchronized flash effects, and color "sweeps" from one end of the venue to the other — all at 2–5ms cross-pole latency so the effect looks intentional, not broken.

Pre-game shows Halftime Victory

Broadcast & TV Production

Television broadcast requires consistent, repeatable color rendering across the entire field of view. Hyperion™'s precise DMX channel control and millisecond synchronization give broadcast engineers exact, repeatable color temperature and RGB output across every pole — no visible color drift between poles, no desync artifacts on camera.

TV production Streaming events

Community Events & Concerts

Graduation ceremonies, community concerts, charity events, and public gatherings all benefit from programmable venue lighting. Reconfigure the entire venue's color output by simply recalling a different scene — no on-site lighting technician needed for standard events once the library is built.

Graduation Community concerts

Awareness & Civic Programs

Municipal venues can run month-long lighting programs — pink for breast cancer awareness in October, blue for law enforcement appreciation, rainbow for pride month — automatically, on a schedule, without any manual operation. Illuminate your community calendar with a lighting system that participates.

Civic campaigns Awareness months
Hybrid Capability

White Sports Lighting + RGB Entertainment. Same Hardware.

Most venues treat sports lighting and entertainment lighting as two separate systems — a white infrastructure system for daily operations, and a separate color entertainment rig for events. Hyperion™ collapses those into one.

Each Hyperion™ pole controller simultaneously outputs DMX512 for RGB entertainment fixtures and DALI (or 0–10V) for white sports lighting drivers. A game night scene can run full white sports lighting for players and officials while simultaneously running an RGB color show on entertainment fixtures mounted on the same poles.

No additional hardware. No second controller. No second wireless network. One Hyperion™ per pole handles both.

Why 2–5ms Synchronization Matters for RGB Shows

Visible desync ruins color effects. Even 50ms of lag between poles turns a synchronized chase effect into a broken, random flicker.

WiFi / Bluetooth Mesh: 50–200ms

Consumer-grade wireless protocols have variable, often unpredictable latency. At 50ms+ desync, a color chase effect that should sweep from one end of the venue to the other instead looks like individual poles randomly changing color — the intended choreography is completely lost.

Gateway Wireless: 15–40ms Typical

Gateway-based wireless systems route all commands through a central hub, adding hub processing time on top of transmission latency. At 15–40ms, subtle desync is still visible on camera and during close observation — particularly for fast chase and strobe effects.

FusionMesh™: 2–5ms

FusionMesh™ is purpose-built for tight timing. The protocol's timing layer distributes synchronization signals ahead of scene-change events, so all nodes execute simultaneously within a 2–5ms window — indistinguishable from wired DMX performance. Chase effects, sweeps, and synchronized flashes look exactly as programmed.

Human perception threshold for visible desync
~20ms
Above 20ms desync, color transitions between poles are noticeably offset. Hyperion™'s 2–5ms is 4–10× better than the visible threshold — indistinguishable from wired.
Zero Cloud Dependency

Your RGB Programs Are Yours. Forever.

Many wireless RGB lighting controllers gate color programming behind active cloud subscriptions. When the subscription lapses — or when the vendor shuts down their cloud service — your color programs disappear.

Hyperion™ stores all RGB scenes, cue lists, and scheduling logic directly on the pole controllers. There is no cloud account. No subscription. No risk. The color programs you build today are still there five years from now — regardless of what happens to any third-party service.

Wireless RGB Lighting Controller FAQ

What RGB fixture types does Hyperion™ support?

Any DMX512-compatible RGB or RGBW fixture. There's no proprietary fixture requirement — if it accepts standard DMX512 input, Hyperion™ controls it wirelessly. This includes RGB LED floodlights, wash fixtures, architectural luminaires, and multiparameter entertainment fixtures.

How many RGB fixtures can one Hyperion™ pole controller handle?

Each pole controller outputs a full 512-channel DMX universe. At 3 channels per RGB fixture, that's up to 170 individual RGB fixtures per pole (128 RGBW at 4 channels). In practice most poles drive far fewer fixtures, leaving channel headroom for future expansion or multiparameter fixture profiles.

Can I run RGB entertainment lighting and white sports lighting at the same time?

Yes — this is a core Hyperion™ capability. Each pole controller simultaneously outputs DMX512 (for RGB fixtures) and DALI or 0–10V (for white sports lighting drivers). Both systems run concurrently from a single controller per pole. A "Game Night" scene can set white sports lighting to full output while triggering an RGB color show on entertainment fixtures — no additional hardware.

Does wireless RGB control require an internet connection?

No. Hyperion™ is 100% offline. All RGB scenes, cue lists, and schedule programs are stored on the pole controllers themselves — not in a cloud account. Internet outages, subscription lapses, and vendor service changes have zero impact on your RGB programming.

How does Hyperion™ synchronize RGB color shows across all poles?

FusionMesh™ achieves 2–5ms pole-to-pole synchronization. Scene-change commands reach all poles within that window, so color transitions, chase effects, and fade sequences execute simultaneously across the entire venue. At 2–5ms, the effect is indistinguishable from wired DMX — fully synchronized color with no visible desync between poles.
