New coloured lighting driver available for OS3.3.0!
Overview
The Nicolaudie STICK and DINA ranges are state-of-the-art DMX sequencers, capable of complex dynamic scenes, and stunning colour chases; integration with the Control4 takes it to the next level.
This driver was designed to bring control a Nicolaudie STICK-DE3 into your Control4 project, providing up to 10 zones on RGB, each with 50 available scenes - and is now compatible with the full STICK and DINA ranges.
If your Control4 system is running OS3.3.0+, this suite introduces native colour control for your lighting fixtures, from any Control4 UI; this not only introduces intuitive control of your fixtures, but also allows the creation of colour presets for quick and easy colour changes.
Setup
This driver was written and tested using the STICK DE3, DINA-DR1 and DINA-DR2. It is compatible with the following products:
- STICK-DE3
- STICK-CW4*
- STICK-KE1*
- STICK-KE2
- STICK-KU1*
- DINA-DR1
- DINA-SR1*

SUNLITE-EC*
-
SUNLITE-RC*
* cannot guarentee compatibility
If you have a requirement to use another Nicolaudie product with this driver, please contact us and we will be happy to work with you to add compatibility.
To use this driver to its full potential, you should group your lighting fixtures under specific areas, to allow individual control. This can be done using the ESA Pro software, available from the Nicolaudie website:
