Trinculo’s Attic Introduces wireless DC Dimmer Pack

In the world of theater, dance, and entertainment, there are countless unique situations in which lighting must be controlled from a distance. Whether it’s a backup dancer with lights on her costume, a prop that dims and brightens, or an onstage fireplace effect, it can be cumbersome – and sometimes impossible – to achieve the desired effect with a wired dimmer system.  Trinculo’s Attic has a simple solution:  The Capulet (wireless DC dimmer).

The Trinculoʼs Attic Capulet is a DMX-controlled wireless DC dimmer pack. This 6-channel remote dimmer pack is intended for use in combination with the Trinculoʼs Attic Wireless Base Station, which receives DMX from a control console and transmits the DMX to the Capulet.  Up to 16 Capulets can be controlled with a single Wireless Base Station, with an option for up to 32 Capulets in certain situations.

The best part?  The Capulet is specifically designed to be very small and easily incorporated into a costume.  With an input voltage range of 3.7-12.5VDC, it can easily control 6 channels of LEDs, EL wire, motors, MR16 lamps, or a variety of other DC loads.  The wireless range on the Capulet is around 100 feet line-of-sight, allowing the costumed actor or dancer to travel virtually anywhere inside a theatre and still receive the DMX signal.

This collaborative dance piece demonstrates the Capulet’s wireless dimming abilities in action on a dancer’s costume.  Not only does it produce a memorable effect, it also allows for a great deal of flexibility in dimming and cueing, transforming ordinary motions into an artistic masterpiece.    To see more about how the Capulet works, take a peek behind-the-scenes in this article.
