A design of embedded DMX512 controller using FPGA and XILKernel

A design of the various control devices with a DMX512 Protocol is widely used in many areas, such as decorative lighting for both inside and outside of the building, or stage lighting and equipment control, such as spot light, smoke machine, strobe light, moving light. This article presents the creation of Embedded DMX512 Controller using FPGA with Real Time Operating System (RTOS). This creation enables us to build multiple channels of DMX Controller within a single device and to control DMX Controller through the TCP/IP. Thus we can control or update the data through the internet. © 2009 IEEE.
