Blackout transmits DMX via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or Bluetooth using the industry standard protocols Art-Net or sACN E1.31 protocols.

Don't know the first thing about lighting? No sweat! Take a deep dive into the enlightening world of professional lighting on my educational YouTube channel.

When it comes to hardware, Blackout seamlessly interacts with any Art-Net or sACN gateway/node. You can checkout a list of common gateways here.

Simply connect your iPad to the gateway via Wi-Fi (if itโ€™s built-in), ethernet using a 3rd-party dongle, or make it wireless by connecting your own Wi-Fi router or access point into the gateway! Need a visual? Checkout the hardware connection video here or use the graphics from our docs site.
