This 36-channel DMX512 bare-board decoder converts standard DMX512/1990 signals into 36 independent PWM outputs for constant-voltage LED loads. Each channel supports 256-step dimming and can drive single-color, tunable-white, RGB or RGBW strips. Wide DC input (commonly DC9–24V, some versions DC5–24V) makes it suitable for 12V/24V LED installations. Set the start address via DIP switch or buttons, cascade multiple units, and control everything from a DMX console, PC software (Madrix / MA / Sunlite) or RDM system. Ideal for stages, bars, hotels, façade lighting, retail displays and DIY DMX projects where reliable analog dimming is needed.
36 PWM Output Channels: Drive up to 36 single-color zones, 12 RGB zones, or 9 RGBW zones from one DMX start address.
DMX512/1990 Standard: Works with professional lighting consoles, DMX interfaces, Madrix, resolume, OpenDMX and Arduino DMX shields.
Constant-Voltage LED Ready: Controls 12V/24V LED strips, modules, bars and fixtures; not for WS2812/SK6812 pixel protocols.
256-Level / 8-Bit Dimming: Smooth 0–100% brightness, group/chase/fade effects when used with console programming.
Bare Board / Enclosed Options: Bare PCB for OEM integration, or housed version with XLR-3 / XLR-5 / RJ45 / screw terminals.
