American DJ Airstream Bridge DMX

I've owned one of these Airstream Bridges for over a year now and initially, I struggled to get on with it. I totally get DMX but the app just didn't seem to suit my style of DMX programming. I also like to mix things up on the fly and as much as I tried, I just couldn't get on with the app. Therefore the Airstream Bridge started to gather dust in my collection of unused DJ gear, until... ..along came Light Rider. This is a fabulous intuitive app that works brilliantly with moving heads and par cans and furthermore it can connect to any ART-NET device. The Airstream Bridge fully supports ART-NET so I gave it a whirl. It's fabulous! This is the perfect combination for me. Light Rider is currently free for iOS and Android tablets and I would willingly pay for it anyway. My Airstream Bridge now has a new lease of life and I get to control my moving heads and pars from my iPad with just the level of on-the-fly tinkering I like, to keep my light shows fresh and relevant for the genre I'm playing. Love this combo so the Airstream Bridge now gets a 100% recommendation from me.

This is an intuitive controller for DMX products. You do not require any knowledge of DMX but if you need to create your own profiles it does help. For programming, it takes a little while to understand the "Latest Takes Precedence" protocol that it uses which means that sometimes you need to reset the units to avoid over programming but it only takes a couple hours to master it. The ability to move around a venue and access your lighting from any angle can save hours in programming and cable running as well. The only downside is that it comes with a US plug with UK adaptor and its not that long. All in all though a great product which most users will master quickly.

Works a treat, set up and I can control from the back of the venue
