The AsteraBox Wi-Fi CRMX Transmitter Box from Astera is designed to support Wi-Fi connectivity as an additional wireless protocol that works with Astera lights when using your phone or tablet. It offers CRMX, Bluetooth, UHF, and Wi-Fi protocols to control Astera lights via AsteraApp or wireless DMX. Just like its predecessor, this AsteraBox also acquires a Bluetooth signal from the AsteraApp, then sends RF signals to the light. The AsteraApp lets you create complex colors, effects, and settings that will be remembered by the lights without a constant wireless link. Quickly create groups of lights, assign positions, and select which lights should receive commands. The AsteraBox Wi-Fi also allows you to control select Astera lights and other CRMX-enabled fixtures from a DMX controller. It can be used either as a transmitter or receiver of wireless DMX.

Astera AsteraBox Overview
Wireless DMX Transmitter with CRMX Technology
This AsteraBox works as a wireless 2.4 GHz DMX transmitter; just connect it with the included XLR adapter to your DMX console, and you can transmit one DMX universe with the stable LumenRadio CRMX wireless protocol. If needed, the AsteraBox Wi-Fi can also be used as a receiver of wireless DMX.
AsteraApp Control
Monitoring works while you control lights by the AsteraApp and also if lights are controlled via DMX. Set DMX addresses and profiles for one light or several lights. After the job, a quick master reset of all settings and lights makes them ready for the next event.
Monitor Lights
Keep a complete overview of the status and all settings of your lights while you operate them. View battery status, radio signal, DMX address, and which lights you have targeted. Diagnose individual lights and even get informed if a light is being moved or switched off. This works while you control lights by the app or via DMX.
