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 seamlessly merged through contact input “patching,” enabling the creation of larger rooms or zones.

DMX 2-Port Mergers

Our DMX 2-Port Mergers combine two DMX512 data lines into a single DMX512 universe, offering cost-effective input expansion for both temporary and permanent installations. Available in portable or DIN rail-mounted versions, these mergers feature opto-isolated inputs and outputs, “Highest Take Precedence” (HTP) or “Priority” modes for flexibility, 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

“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

“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

DMX to Analog Precision Demultiplexers

Our DMX to Analog Precision Demultiplexers deliver exceptional accuracy and fast 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 lighting equipment. Available in 6-channel (PD-6) and 12-channel (PD-12) configurations, they offer scalable solutions to meet the needs of installations of any size.

CD-3000+ 19” Universal Dimmer Controller

The 19″ rack-mount version of the CD-3000+ is a versatile solution for upgrading outdated dimmer racks using pulse-width modulation (PWM) for forward-phase control of solid-state relay (SSR) dimmers.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 via terminal blocks or RJ45 connectors for easy remote wiring. This universal dimmer controller delivers flexibility and precision 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 controlling lighting equipment. It allows multiple lighting fixtures and controllers to communicate effectively, enabling precise control over lighting cues, dimming, and effects.

DMX integration ensures reliable performance and compatibility across lighting infrastructure in commercial or industrial spaces.

Yes, JSI Manufacturing’s DMX solutions are designed to work seamlessly with existing lighting infrastructure. Our products can integrate with both modern and legacy systems, allowing you to upgrade your lighting controls without replacing entire systems. Full system replacements can cost up to six figures, while our retrofitting solutions typically range from four to five figures.

The PD-6 is perfect for smaller venues with up to 6 analog lighting devices, while the PD-12 is better suited for larger installations needing control of up to 12 devices.

Both models deliver the same high-resolution conversion performance, with the primary difference being the number of supported channels.
