Swisson XRC-200-W Description
The Swisson XRC-200-W provides a practical solution for recording, storing, and replaying DMX lighting sequences without requiring continuous operation of a lighting console. With support for two DMX universes and 1024 channels, it can capture lighting data directly from a DMX controller and reproduce recorded sequences in real time. Its straightforward playback controls make it suitable for both experienced lighting professionals and operators managing recurring lighting presentations.
The XRC-200-W supports up to 64 recorded sequences and 10 configurable playlists, allowing users to organize lighting effects and create automated playback routines. Adjustable fade times provide control over transitions between sequences, while the integrated timer enables scheduled lighting operation. Additional functions include automatic startup, DMX remote control, and an ignition sequence feature for sending recorded initialization commands to compatible fixtures.
For applications requiring reliable lighting control, the XRC-200-W can operate as a DMX backup device. When configured for backup operation, it can automatically take over with recorded playback if the incoming DMX signal fails. The device also supports external triggering through the optional XRC-CT15B contact box, which provides 15 dry-contact inputs for integration with switches, automation systems, and other control devices. These capabilities make it useful for live productions, architectural lighting, museum exhibits, and installations requiring repeatable lighting sequences.
Designed for permanent installations, the XRC-200-W features a compact enclosure with included brackets for wall mounting. It provides two 5-pin XLR DMX inputs and two 5-pin XLR outputs, operates from a 100-240V AC power supply, and consumes approximately 4W during typical operation. Its USB-B connection provides access to Windows-compatible XRC-200 PC software for managing recorded sequences, transferring show data, storing configurations, and performing firmware updates. With 64MB of internal memory, standalone playback capabilities, and a dedicated wall-mount design, the XRC-200-W offers flexible DMX recording and automation for professional lighting installations.
