The AsteraBox acts as a compact interface between lighting fixtures and a controller, suitable for rental workflows that require fast setup and flexible wireless control. It functions as a CRMX wireless DMX transceiver and as a Bluetooth bridge to the AsteraApp. Its internal battery and lightweight aluminium housing make it convenient to deploy on-location.

Key Features

• Bluetooth bridge for the AsteraApp, using Bluetooth 4.0 for local configuration and monitoring up to 3 m / 3.3 yds.
• Built-in rechargeable battery with long runtimes: up to 72 hours when used with the app, and approximately 8–10 hours when operating as a CRMX transceiver.
• Simple charging through a Micro-USB port, nominal charging time about 8 hours. DC input: 5 VDC, 2 A.
