Is this an ON/OFF Trigger? Can I change the fog modes via the DMX controller?

Yes, the current DMX modules are ON/OFF Triggers. You will need to manually change the modes on the SmokeNINJA PRO device, then the DMX Module will control the trigger.

Can I trigger the Haze Nozzle on the SmokeNINJA PRO via the DMX Module?

The Haze Nozzle is paired directly to the trigger of the SmokeNINJA PRO. Therefore, once you Trigger the SmokeNINJA PRO via DMX, the Haze Nozzle will turn on automatically as well.

I want to control multiple units of SmokeNINJA PRO. How many modules do I need?

Each DMX Module (receiver) Controls ONE SmokeNINJA Pro. To trigger multiple units, you need to buy the same number of receivers to match how how many units you’d like to control. (e.g. 3 receivers to control 3 SmokeNINJA PROs). For the Transmitter, you only need one 2.4g Transmitter to control all receivers.

Can you change the DMX channels on the Modules?

Yes, you can. Each DMX receiver has up to 512 Unique Channels that you can manually choose from. If you are controlling multiple units, putting all modules on the same channel will cause all units to be deployed by the same trigger.

How long does the battery last?

The DMX Modules have internal batteries: 30 minutes of charging will provide 12 hours of operation.

When connected to the DMX Module, will my SmokeNINJA PRO shut off after certain idle time?

Once the DMX Modules are switched on and becomes active, it will override all auto-shut off systems and the SmokeNINJA PRO will run continuously (i.e. around 12 hours)

I have the original SmokeGENIE / v1 SmokeNINJA. Does the DMX Module work with it?

Currently the DMX Module only works with the SmokeNINJA PRO.

Can I use Wired DMX (XLR) Cables to control the modules?

Currently the solution is wireless, there is no XLR ports on the Receivers.

What pin type is the PMI 2.4g DMX Transmitter?

3-Pin. You can buy an adapter to fit it into your 5-pin ports.

I can honestly say, PMI Gear have created a game changer with the Wireless DMX modules on the SmokeNINJA PRO. Not only does it allow for multiple smoke positions on set with the upgraded Ninja units, but it also provides a secure and reliable method to operate the machines remotely.

I love my Smoke Genie and have used them on all the film productions I’ve worked on over the last 6 years (Expendables 4, Willow, Small Things Like These, Mayfair Witches to name a few) but this new system with the SmokeNINJA machines opens the door to more exciting possibilities. Well done PMI Gear, you’ve done it again and made my life easier in the world of special effects!
