The implementation consists of mandatory features, which are always required, and optional features, which you can add depending on your product design. Before starting with the hardware it is important to know what to additionally integrate. Below is an overview:
Mandatory Features
- App Control – Enables configuration and control of the fixture through the Vision App. This is the primary interface for end users.
- DMX Control over Vision Protocol – Provides standard DMX512 control for integration with lighting consoles. This ensures compatibility with professional lighting setups.
- Firmware Update – Ensures the device can be updated via the app using DFU (Device Firmware Update) packages. Critical for bug fixes, feature upgrades, and long-term product support.
- RDM Configuration – Allows remote configuration via RDM (Remote Device Management) when the fixture is used with either the Vision Control App or Vision Control Gateway
Optional Features
- NFC Connect / NFC DMX Patching – Allows quick configuration and pairing of the fixture using NFC.
Requirement: NFC antenna integrated into the hardware. - IR Remote Control – Enables remote control of basic functions using an IR remote
Requirement: IR sensor installed in the fixture and connected to Vision Controller - IR Remote Wake-Up (Battery driven Fixtures) – Enables Wake Up or turning on the Fixture using an IR remote
Requirement: Suitable for battery driven fixtures. Vision Controller must be always connected directly to the battery. IR sensor installed in the fixture and connected to Vision Controller. - NFC Wake-Up (Battery driven Fixtures) – Enables Wake Up or turning on the Fixture using NFC
Requirement: Suitable for battery driven fixtures. Vision Controller must be always connected directly to the battery. NFC antenna integrated into the hardware. - NFC DMX Patching without A/C Grid Power – Allows quick configuration using NFC without the fixture being powered
Requirement: Small battery for configuration necessary. Vision Controller must be always connected directly to this battery. Vision Control must be able to wake up the main controller through WakeUp Pin for communication. - App Control Scene Retention Across Power Cycles – Ensures the fixture automatically resumes the last active scene after being powered off and on again. This allows seamless operation without user interaction after power loss or intentional shutdown.
Requirement: A small battery is required, and the Vision Controller must remain permanently powered by this battery. - Universal Time Support – Provides a stable internal time source for timestamping, logging, and scheduled actions (e.g., timed scenes or automated behaviors).
Requirement: A small battery is required to maintain timekeeping when the main power is off. - Sleep Mode – Reduces power consumption when the fixture is not in active use. Useful for battery-powered products.
- Battery Runtime Selection – Lets the user adjust brightness/output levels to extend operating time when running on battery.
- Emergency Mode – Ensures the fixture provides basic light output in case of power failure, following emergency lighting standards.
- Anti-Theft Mode – Triggers alarms or signals if unauthorized motion is detected.
Requirement: Motion sensor integrated into the hardware. - Shipping Mode – Disables unnecessary functions during transport to save power and avoid accidental activation.
