The Commissioner Multi represents the pinnacle of Artistic Licence's testing technology, integrating three essential lighting control protocols into one portable diagnostic platform. This professional-grade instrument serves both field troubleshooting and systematic installation commissioning requirements across diverse lighting environments. The device combines the functionality of separate DMX512/RDM and DALI testers while maintaining the intuitive interface and robust construction expected from Artistic Licence products. The dual connectivity approach ensures compatibility with both traditional entertainment lighting (DMX/RDM via RJ45/XLR5) and architectural lighting systems (DALI via RCA phono). Key differentiators include simultaneous protocol support, extensive battery life optimisation, and comprehensive cable testing functionality. The Commissioner Multi complements other Artistic Licence products including the NanoScope Developer and integrates seamlessly with daliGate Quad installations.
Manufactured in the UK to CE and UKCA standards with comprehensive 2-year return-to-base warranty. Includes both XLR5 adapter cable and DALI test leads for immediate deployment.

While all three protocols are available in one device, they operate independently through separate physical connections - RJ45 for DMX/RDM and RCA phono for DALI connectivity. - 1571410: Can I use the Commissioner Multi for both entertainment and architectural lighting?***SIMP***Yes, the Commissioner Multi is specifically designed for mixed lighting environments. The RJ45/XLR5 connectivity handles entertainment lighting fixtures using DMX512/RDM protocols, while the RCA phono connection with included test leads addresses architectural DALI installations. - 1571411: How does the battery life compare between protocols?***SIMP***Battery life varies by protocol usage. DALI operation provides over 80 hours of continuous use due to the low-power nature of DALI communications. DMX/RDM operation with active transmission and backlit display provides approximately 8-12 hours depending on usage patterns. - 1571412: What cables and adapters are included with the Commissioner Multi?***SIMP***Each Commissioner Multi includes an XLR5 adapter cable for DMX/RDM connections, a phono to crocodile clip lead for DALI connections, a micro-USB charging cable, and a hard shell carrying case. No additional cables are required for basic operation. - 1571413: Can the Commissioner Multi program DALI scenes and groups?***SIMP***Yes, the Commissioner Multi provides comprehensive DALI functionality including scene programming, group management, and device state configuration. It can record maximum, minimum, failure, and power-on states, plus handle Device Type 8 colour control for RGBW fixtures. - 1571414: Can the Commissioner Multi program DALI scenes and groups?***SIMP***Yes, the Commissioner Multi provides comprehensive DALI functionality including scene programming, group management, and device state configuration. It can record maximum, minimum, failure, and power-on states, plus handle Device Type 8 colour control for RGBW fixtures. - 1571415: How does the cable testing function work across different protocols?***SIMP***The Commissioner Multi performs double-ended cable testing for both DMX and DALI installations. For DMX cables, it tests all conductor pairs and identifies opens, shorts, and cross-connections. For DALI installations, it can test bus power levels and identify line faults. - 1571416: Is the Commissioner Multi compatible with Art-Net and sACN systems?***SIMP***The Commissioner Multi operates at the physical protocol level (DMX512/RDM/DALI) and does not directly interface with network protocols like Art-Net or sACN. For network-based testing, pair with appropriate gateways or consider network-specific diagnostic tools. - 1571417: Can I update the firmware on the Commissioner Multi?***SIMP***Firmware updates are delivered via the micro-USB connection using Artistic Licence's update utility software. Regular updates provide enhanced functionality, protocol compliance improvements, and support for new device types across all supported protocols. - 1571418: What's the difference between Commissioner Multi and separate RDMX/DALI units?***SIMP***The Commissioner Multi combines the functionality of both Commissioner RDMX and Commissioner DALI models in one device, including both sets of cables and adapters. This provides cost savings and convenience for installations requiring multiple protocol support. - 1571419: How do I switch between DMX/RDM and DALI modes?***SIMP***Protocol selection is handled through the menu system and is determined by the physical connection used. Connect to RJ45 for DMX/RDM functions or RCA phono for DALI operations. The device automatically recognises the active protocol based on connection and menu selection.
