Presidor™ Room Linker/Combiner (PRLC-4)

The Presidor™ Room Linker/Combiner (PRLC-4) is an advanced multi-port DMX512 merger designed to serve as the central hub for Presidor™ Wall Stations (PWS). This intelligent device allows DMX512 input streams to be smoothly merged through contact input “patching,” enabling the creation of larger rooms or zones.

DMX 2-Port Mergers

Our DMX 2-Port Mergers connect two DMX512 data lines into a single DMX universe, offering a reliable and cost-effective input expansion for temporary and permanent installations. Choose between portable and DIN rail-mounted models, each equipped with opto-isolated inputs and outputs, support for “Highest Take Precedence” (HTP) or “Priority” modes, fast-acting fuse protection, and power-saving standby mode.

“To date, we have had zero issues with the upgrades. All [JSI Manufacturing] console boards have been compatible, zero mystery errors as with the originals, and the end users find them to be the easiest racks they have ever worked with. Best decision we ever made.”

Tony Materazzi
20th Century Fox Studios — Set Lighting Dept Head

“Solid company. Solid staff. Great results. Refreshing to still have companies like JSI around that are not based on corporate money-focused shareholders. More often than not, you get what you pay for, but with JSI, a retrofit saves cash.”

Brian Cloutier
Vice President Sales & Integration, Q One Show Technologies

“On install day, it was obvious that JSI was devoted to getting the retrofit completed, and with the ferocity of a chihuahua on a pork chop, they did not let go until the mission was completed.”

Patrick Fraser
Technical Director, Citadel Theatre

DMX to Analog Precision Demultiplexers

Our DMX to Analog Precision Demultiplexers deliver exceptional accuracy and quick response times, converting DMX512 protocol into high-resolution analog control signals. With 16-bit resolution, 0 to 10VDC output, and up to 20mA drive current per channel, these systems ensure reliable performance for legacy or non-DMX light control equipment. Available in 6-channel (PD-6) and 12-channel (PD-12) configurations, they offer scalable solutions to meet the needs of any size installation.

CD-3000+ 19” Universal Dimmer Controller

The 19″ rack-mount version of the CD-3000+ is an adaptable solution for upgrading outdated dimmer racks using pulse-width modulation (PWM) for forward-phase control of solid-state relay (SSR) dimmers. Measuring just 3RU in height, it controls up to 96 dimmers through terminal blocks or RJ45 connectors for easy remote wiring. This universal dimmer controller provides precision and flexibility with features including dual DMX inputs, optional Ethernet, analog, and dry contact inputs.

Frequently Asked Questions

DMX (Digital Multiplex) is an industry-standard protocol for digital lighting control equipment. It allows multiple fixtures and controllers to communicate effectively, enabling precise control over lighting cues, dimming, and effects.

DMX integration ensures reliable performance and function compatibility across the lighting infrastructure in commercial or industrial settings.

Yes, JSI Manufacturing’s DMX lighting solutions are designed to work alongside existing lighting infrastructure. Our products can integrate with modern and legacy systems, including DMX fixtures, allowing you to upgrade your lighting controls without needing to replace entire systems. Replacing a whole system can cost up to six figures, while our retrofitting solutions typically range from only four to five figures.

The PD-6 is perfect for smaller venues with up to 6 analog lighting devices, while the PD-12 is more appropriate for larger installations that require control of up to 12 devices.

The PD-6 and PD-12 models deliver the same high-resolution conversion performance, with the main difference being the number of DMX channels they support.

A retrofit lets you add modern DMX control features without tearing out your existing infrastructure. In many installations, adding a splitter or using a wireless DMX solution is more practical than running a new DMX line through finished walls or ceilings. Pairing a transmitter with existing equipment allows DMX signals to be extended or redirected without invasive labor. The time and cost savings are substantial in such cases, especially in large or hard-to-access spaces.
