Our presenter Jeff James, Senior Product Manager for Fresco and Pathway products at Acuity Brands Lighting, will provide a presentation on the history of lighting control, the evolution of DMX as an industry standard, DMX in the commercial lighting market, and how DMX works.
DMX protocol and its predecessors have long been considered the exclusive realm of theatres and entertainment venues.

Learning Objectives:
- Recall the history of Lighting Control
- Summary of the evolution of DMX as an industry Standard
- Discuss how DMX may be applied in commercial applications.
- Describe how DMX Functions
