74 SMOKENINJA PRO GOES WIRELESS
Practical Magic & Innovation BY DAVID FOX
Two new DMX modules bring wireless control to Practical Magic & Innovation’s (PMI) SmokeNinja Pro fog machine, allowing users to trigger the fog effects from up to 100m away, using the production’s DMX control console.
The compact DMX modules attach to the SmokeNinja Pro
via USB-C and, once connected, act as a wireless receiver for the DMX512 protocol, which means fewer XLR cables on set. The two versions are a 2.4G
wireless DMX model and a CRMX by Lumenradio. The 2.4G version generally also requires an additional 2.4G transmitter for connecting to DMX controllers, whereas controllers typically have CRMX built in.
The initial DMX modules are on/off trigger units only, so users cannot change the fog modes
