TimoTwo
– the next generation of wireless DMX
Taking our technology to the next level, we are proud to release our next generation of wireless DMX communication. Patent pending DMXmeshTM option, reduced RF footprint and Bluetooth compatibility makes TimoTwoTM the most reliable and useful radio module for wireless DMX.
Our TimoTwoTM is a fully integrated DMX/RDM module and offers over-the-air firmware upgrades, SMT mounting, and a UF.L connector for external antennas.
TimoTwo™ Q&A
Why is it called TimoTwo™?
The original TiMo™ was launched back in 2014, and has since enabled reliable wireless DMX for fixture manufacturers. The new TimoTwo™ has the same capacity as the original TiMo – and more. TimoTwo marks the new era of reliable wireless DMX communication, with unprecedented possibilities.
What is new?
TimoTwo™ is much more than just a product, it’s a full platform. One of the main new features is Bluetooth compatibility, which enables the product to evolve and develop over time (more information below). Further on, we will also enable the patent pending DMXmesh™ option and improved Coexistence, making it even more reliable and versatile than its predecessor.
What makes TimoTwo™ a platform?
At LumenRadio we love to develop. We are always inventing new features, and we want you to have access to these …without having to buy a new product when we invent something new!
TimoTwo™ is an incredibly powerful module; thanks to its high performing processor, we are able to add almost unlimited new features over time without sacrificing performance. Features such as DMXmesh™, improved cognitive coexistence, third party lighting control support, and RDM control are just a few examples on what we are looking to add later on. …and you will be able to access these new features with just an update to the software – no new hardware is needed!
And with the Bluetooth compatibility in TimoTwo™, you can get access to these updates in the simplest way possible – every time we do an update to the TimoTwo™ software or add new functionality, you can access these new functions by using our CRMX Toolbox app to update your TimoTwo module. No need for manual updates using cables – just connect to your fixture in the app and start the update. Besides this, Bluetooth compatibility opens up a possibility for endless third party applications (more information below).
Unlike all other wireless DMX radio modules on the market, TimoTwo™ is a dynamic platform, always evolving to offer you the best and latest wireless functionalities.
What can you do with the CRMX Toolbox app?
What better way to control and configure your CRMX products than from the palm of your hand? With TimoTwo™ in your fixtures, you can now use our newly developed CRMX Toolbox app to track and connect to your fixtures and controllers. In the CRMX Toolbox app you can quickly identify your products, check battery status, conduct firmware updates, change output power and much more. The CRMX Toolbox app is available in App Store and Google Play.
From now on, there is no need for any extra hardware to update, connect to, and control your fixtures from handheld devices – you have full control in the palm of your hand!
What about 3rd party apps?
Besides the CRMX Toolbox app, TimoTwo’s built-in Bluetooth connectivity enables DMX light control through 3rd party smart device light controllers as well as the option to build your own application using our open Bluetooth API. This means you are able to contribute to the TimoTwo™ platform by creating your own app – compatible with all TimoTwo™ products!
Which 3rd party lighting control apps are supported today?
TimoTwo™ will soon be compatible with the widely used Luminair lighting control app, giving lighting designers, filmmakers and TV professionals, musicians, artists and other enthusiasts advanced wireless control over their DMX-enabled lights directly from your phone. You will find more information about the Luminair app here: http://synthe-fx.com/products/luminair
What is DMXmesh™?
DMXmesh™ enables flexible fixture placement and an extended range of your wireless communication. With this patent pending technology, every receiver and fixture will also act as a repeater, where all devices coordinate among themselves to make sure that the coverage is expanded in the most optimal way.
By using the DMXMesh™ option the time needed for installation and wireless commissioning will be greatly reduced for architectural and architainment illumination with no more site surveys or complicated planning for the wireless DMX distribution. The DMXmesh™ technology will let you focus on what is important; illumination, not on DMX distribution. DMXmesh™ will be available further on.
How about range of TimoTwo™?
Compared to CMRX Timo RX/FX modules we have been able to increase the distance even further over which TimoTwo is able to communicate; this thanks to a dramatic improvement in receiver sensitivity of the radio module. This increase in range is achieved without increasing the output power of the radio module – in fact we have even been able to lower the output power and still increase range! Sounds like magic? Well, this is what we do everyday here at LumenRadio – we create radio magic!
Is it compatible with other CRMX products?
All LumenRadio CRMX products are compatible with each other. This means that TimoTwo™ is fully compatible with the previous TiMo module as well as with LumenRadio CRMX transmitters and receivers. MoonLite, the first LumenRadio product built on TimoTwo, is therefore fully compatible with all other CRMX products.
How about integration?
Manufacturers can add TimoTwo™ to their products easily with full OrCAD, Allegro and DXF symbol libraries available to simply drop onto existing TiMo layouts. TimoTwo™ is compatible with all existing and future LumenRadio products.
With TimoTwoTM in your fixtures, you can now use our newly developed CRMX Toolbox app to track and connect to your fixtures and controllers. TimoTwo’s built-in Bluetooth connectivity enables DMX light control through 3rd party smart device light controllers as well as the option to build your own application using our open Bluetooth API. From now on, there is no need for any extra hardware to connect to and control your fixtures from handheld devices – you have full control light control in the palm of your hand!
