Automated Fixtures vizi beam 5r small controller

[gregeye]

hello,

I have a vizzi beam 5r but nothing to control it with. Is there any small dmx controllers I can purchase to control its functions? Any ideas for a cheap idea

If you have a computer, the cheapest I think you could go would be Chamsys MagicQ Magic DMX basic. It cost $16 plus shipping and handling. It's a full 512 channel universe of computerized DMX control. The program has a steep learning curve though. The other catch is that you can only use it for 5 hours before you have to restart the program. If you don't want to deal with this constraint, then the full version dongle is available for $100.

If you want to go stand-alone, search eBay for a dmx lighting controller. If brand is no concern, one can be had for about $100. If you don't need physical control of each channel at the same time, then one could be had for less.

Good luck!
