The Showtec Assistant CRMX checks W-DMX, CRMX, DMX, RDM and Art-Net signals from one robust handheld unit. It both receives and transmits (W-)DMX, and the integrated LumenRadio transceiver lets you test a wireless DMX network as well as cables and Art-Net. You can record and play back DMX on a removable SD card and check RDM parameters on fixtures.
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.
