In 2026, the reception has stopped being an individual object in space. Through the DMX512 protocol, we unite furniture backlighting with the building's overall light score. This technology, emerging from the theater and concert industry, allows for managing every inch of light with absolute precision. We examine why DMX is the only choice for professional lobby automation and how it helps create the magic that a guest feels.
DMX512 Protocol: Pixel Precision
DMX512 is a digital data transmission standard that allows for controlling 512 channels via a single cable. In a reception context, this means we can create not just uniform backlighting but dynamic 'waves', gradients, and color flows that move across the desk facade. This transforms a static object into a living, breathing entity that reacts to people's movements or music rhythms.
Synchronization with BMS and Media Facades
Single Organism
Utilizing DMX allows us to integrate the reception into the Building Management System (BMS). If a skyscraper facade runs a light show for a holiday, the reception desk within the lobby will precisely mirror those colors and rhythms. This creates an incredible sense of brand and architectural integrity unreachable by ordinary means.
