Product Description

Doug Fleenor Design GIZMO DMX Tester and Signal Generator

The Gizmo is a DMX512 test tool with features useful for lighting system setup, testing, troubleshooting, and commissioning. With the Gizmo you can transmit, receive, save, playback scenes and perform a variety of data and cable tests. It is housed in a rugged chassis made of 0.1" thick aluminum. A fitted carrying case and wall transformer/battery charger are included with each Gizmo. Direct channel access while sending or receiving DMX512 signals is possible through the use of the numeric keypad. The display is a back lit 16 character by 2 line LCD. The Gizmo has a fully opto-isolated DMX512 input. The DMX512 output can function as an isolated pass-thru which also re-times the signal.
