Infrared Remote Controls by Astera

Infrared Remote Controls

Efficiency in the palm of your hand!

Lighting control doesn’t get any easier than this. Aim a remote at a light and press a button to control colors, brightness and other basic parameters. The FX Remote has been a popular companion for Astera users since 2009. The White Remote adds precise control over white tones and offers faster app pairing.

Features Explained

Both remote controls enable you to turn lights on and off without physically touching them.

10 basic colors including 2 white tones can be triggered with the FX Remote.

Predefined White tones can be triggered with dedicated buttons, in addition the color temperature can be fine adjusted.

The White Remote can set intensity of the targeted lights with 5 predefined brightness levels; fine-tuning can be done with the DIM +/-.

The FX Remote can set 3 runtime levels (5h, 8h, 12h) to change the lights’ brightness levels. The White Remote has a MAX Runtime button.

Sending the Bluemode command to a light, does what holding a light’s on/off button is doing: launching blue-mode which allows app pairing. To avoid accidental triggering, there is an additional 2/2 button to confirm the command.

Both remote controls can be used to confirm settings that are sent by the AsteraApp without touching the lights physically. This is great for creating groups, assigning DMX addresses and several other settings.

COMPATIBLE WITH ALL ASTERA LIGHTS
