ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

DMX (music)

DMX is kind of like magic lights for music concerts! Imagine being at a concert and seeing all the lights change and flash with the music. DMX is what controls those lights to make them go with the beat.

Think of it like this: you have a bunch of toys that light up, but you want them all to light up at different times and in different colors. You need a special way to control them all so they don't light up at the wrong time. That's what DMX does for the lights at a concert.

DMX is a very specific way of sending information from the music controller to the lights. It's like a secret language that only the lights and the controller can understand. The controller tells the lights how bright to be, what colors to change to, and when to turn on and off.

So when you're at a concert and the lights are flashing and changing color with the music, you can thank DMX for making it all happen!
