The Emergency DMX Bypass Switch from Strand Lighting provides a solution for emergency and panic situations at venues using DMX lighting. Using separate panic/emergency state triggers, the Bypass can control 4 DMX universes and also serve as a DMX splitter. The unit can be set to drive all loads on each DMX path to 100% and return them to the DMX controller when the situation returns to normal. Returns can also be set using Intelligent Timing which senses valid DMX inputs or manually from 1 to 10 minutes.
