The Showtec Assistant checks DMX, RDM and Art-Net signals from one robust handheld unit. It both receives and transmits DMX, which makes it ideal for testing infrastructure and cables, and it can check RDM parameters on fixtures and verify Art-Net networks. DMX can be recorded and played back on a removable SD card.
A capacitive touch screen makes the menus quick to use, with a fader and buttons as an alternative. The internal Li-ion battery runs up to 16 hours and charges over USB-C from a 5V supply.
