Can the Wall Station Record Chases?
A DMX Wall Station cannot record dynamic chases. It functions as a DMX snapshot recorder, designed to capture and store static scenes.
How Many Universes Can a Wall Station Control?
Wall Stations control a single DMX universe.
How Many Satellite Wall Stations Can I Use?
The SM-8 Wall Station can support up to 5 Satellite Stations via Cat5.
Do I Need A Lighting Console?
DMX Wall Stations require a console for programming but can operate independently once programmed.
Can Wall Stations Record Pan, Tilt, and Other Settings for Moving Heads?
Wall Stations serve as static DMX recorders, capable of playing back fixed pan and tilt settings but not dynamic, multi-step scenes. For instance, you can record a scene with house lights at 20%, stage washes at 60% in blue, and two moving lights positioned on the piano with white spots. However, they cannot play back scenes involving motion or transitions between steps.

SM-8 WALL PANEL
I installed this unit in a local bar and they love it. Having a stage lighting background i was able to program the unit from home and then wire it into their system. It is one of the easiest units I've worked with that has the most flexibility the only thing that would make it better is if it had a dedicated off switch since the venue wanted a dedicated off button, Bottom line i will be buying more of these units when i have more installs.

SM-8 WALL CONTROL
We needed some way of controlling the house lights coming in to a black room as all lighting is controlled through the lighting console. It worked great, My only negative is I wish it would fit in a standard LV 1 or equivalent, but that is minor. Great product.

COULDN’T BE EASIER!!
We have one Master and two slaves and it works perfectly. Couldn’t be easier to install. However be sure to ground each station…they do not like static electricity.

EXCELLENT SOLUTION!
Having recently upgraded to LED houselight fixtures in our small theatre, the installer did not provide any remote control ability for every day users such as office staff, cleaning crews, or rehearsal sessions. After an extensive on-line search, it became obvious that the SM-8 and a couple of SS-8s would provide an valid, economical and excellent system. The stuff shipped promptly, but arrived about a week later than expected, due a FedEx issue – not Springtree’s fault at all. Installation was straightforward and relatively simple – DMX, Cat 5, and power for the SM-8, and everything else is simply topology-free Cat 5. These devices fit rather snugly in the specified electrical boxes, but worked out well. (It is well worth mentioning here that customer service at Springtree was beyond exceptional!) After some minor issues with programming (because I’m an old-school-analogue guy), I called Springtree, and immediately talked to a real person, never put on hold or redirected, and he patiently helped me work through my problems – that are now seemingly simple, of course. That kind of support is rare these days and most appreciated!! As we simply needed “On/Off” control for our houselights, this 8-channel (scene) system is probably a little “overkill” for our particular installation, but is worth every penny! The DMX over-ride from the console works exactly as described, and the devices all function flawlessly, and the adjustable fade-times is a nice feature. It should be noted however, that once the console is powered off (DMX loss), the SM-8 will default to Scene 1. Certainly not a big issue – it has to default to somewhere, so I simply left Scene 1 as a blackout. I cannot fairly attest to their long-term reliabilty, as the system has only been in use a few weeks, but they seem sturdily built and should last many years. If you are looking for a relatively simple, economical, and dependable system, with exceptional customer support, for wired DMX remote operation, look no further than these little devices – I can assure you, they won’t disappoint! 5 Stars +++ !

Just what I was looking for!
We redid our light system in our church recently, (entire new dimming system) making our old architectural switches obsolete and unusable. I was racking my brain trying to decide how to make things work in the new space and I stumbled upon your product. It was much more affordable than any other options I found.
Delivery was prompt, installation instructions were easy to follow and programming it couldn’t be simpler. The white color option looks nice and clean in our space as well. I bought a master controller which I installed next to my light control board in the sound booth and connected a slave controller near the room entrance for instant control upon entering the room.
The lockout feature when the board is running lighting cues worked exactly as I had hoped.

This thing really is a fantastic solution for churches or schools where DMX lighting needs to be useable by those who may not be familiar with lighting controllers. For our application in a church, we use a software controller on an iMac. This required someone to log on and know how to use the software to turn on our preset scenes. The SM8 is a great solution for that problem, because it allows anyone to recall a DMX preset when the console is off. A word of advice – if you’re using a computer to control your lights, there’s a good chance that the DMX signal will be on constantly since USB to DMX adapters are usually powered by the USB ports on the computer. SpringTree makes a switch for this reason – I just didn’t think to order it with the SM8 initially. I haven’t hooked up the satellite station yet, but look forward to that functionality!

I’ve installed a few SM-8 units and can attest that they are a FANTASTIC solution for making complicated lighting accessible to anyone!
