Lighting and control

GLP JDC2 IP

Configure the JDC2 IP hybrid strobe with its matching V2.0.1 personality, layer priority and verified NDI reception.

Ask GLMedia about renting GLP JDC2 IP for your event. Availability and configuration are subject to confirmation.

Firmware V2.0.1 and documents Rev20260504-1

A hybrid strobe combining a white line and RGB surfaces for segment effects, internal DigiFX and NDI content in compatible modes. Select the creative method before the personality: Pixel mode does not provide the same functions as modes using internal effects engines.

Prepare your rental inquiry

Specify equipment only or whether setup, programming, operation and strike are also needed. Scope is confirmed in the proposal.

You do not need a final equipment list: tell us the result you want and the part you need help with. Availability and scope are confirmed in the proposal.

Features and connections

5-pin XLR carries DMX, dual etherCON ports carry network data, and TRUE1 TOP In / Thru carries power. An output connector does not permit fixture chaining at every voltage.

RDM and GLP iQ.Mesh are control options. CRMX requires the optional module in the FPO port: do not assume it is fitted.

V2.0.1 changes the DMX layout and Canvas system. Earlier shows require patch and DigiFX/NDI adaptation; an update does not automatically preserve previous behavior.

Prepare the system

  1. Record actual firmware and mode; use the matching library. Assign a valid address and space for the complete footprint before connecting the console.
  2. In Protocol Setup → Data In, select DMX, Art-Net, sACN or the available wireless system. For network control, check IP, mask and universe; Art-Net begins at port 0 and sACN at universe 1.
  3. Release tilt, secure mounting and safety retention, and clear the movement envelope. Test at moderate output with nobody looking into the front; record Brightness Limit, Fan Mode and No Signal.

Questions and troubleshooting

Does an earlier show control shifted functions or lose effects?

Firmware migration changes more than the personality name.

  1. Match fixture version, library and DMX chart. V2.0.1 is not directly compatible with patches and shows from earlier versions.
  2. Reserve the new footprint, replace the personality using console tools and verify every function before live use. Do not keep channel positions based on similarity.
  3. Reconfigure DigiFX/NDI and Canvas separately. Preserve an earlier show copy and test outside the performance; this guide does not establish a tested conversion.
Do segments fail to respond, or does another layer hide the color?

Mix Priority determines how MAIN and SEGMENT combine in modes that offer it.

  1. Check dimmers and values for both layers. MAIN Only ignores SEGMENT; SEGMENT Only ignores MAIN. Select the intended layer before changing colors.
  2. HTP takes the highest color value from either layer. Lower the layer not under test and compare a segment with a simple reference.
  3. For missing light, also check Rate, Duration and Intensity FX; an open dimmer does not guarantee continuous output. Check brightness limits and fan mode without bypassing protection.
Network connected, but no NDI content?

Video reception, content selection and Canvas positioning are separate checks.

  1. Direct input supports full-bandwidth NDI up to 640×480; NDI HX is unsupported. Match IP and mask to the source.
  2. Use the required routing tag, such as GLP-JDC2-1, and select that source with DigiFX/NDI Select. The tag must form part of the full stream name.
  3. Match Canvas to content and check position, scale, orientation and color modifiers. For larger arrays, assess bandwidth and network design before diagnosing a fixture fault.
Can it show the same content as the stage screen?

We can assess compatible NDI content or a coordinated graphic interpretation. Matrix, layout and gaps between fixtures create a different visual surface; LED-screen legibility is not assumed.

  1. Send sample content, a sketch, audience and camera distances, and source details. Rehearse Canvas scale, position and orientation using the actual version; check format and network against V2.0.1 rather than the NDI label alone.
  2. We can compare internal DigiFX for coordinated effects with NDI for external content, or a screen for text and detail. State what equipment, content and personnel your production supplies; GLMedia can assess and quote a partial supply or a scope including installation, server, network, fixture profile and patch adaptation, content preparation, programming, rehearsal and operation. Model, availability, quantity, interfaces and services are confirmed in the proposal and must be tested together.
Do we need many fixtures, or can one accent suit a smaller space?

Quantity depends on composition and intended effect, not a minimum inferred from a demo or forum. An accent and a large graphic surface are different designs.

  1. Share approximate dimensions, audience and camera positions, and areas sensitive to intense light. Assess orientation and brightness limits with the actual system, retaining existing strobe and mounting precautions.
  2. We can compare JDC2 accents with other ambient fixtures, a larger layout or a suitable lower-intensity alternative. Quantity, available power and control require confirmation; model name alone does not establish appropriate scale or intensity.
Can we use it in scenes without flashes?

We can assess continuous output and smooth changes. Check BEAM, PLATE and active effect or content layers: disabling Intensity Effects alone does not establish that the scene has stopped producing flashes.

  1. Tell us which moments need steady light, audience and camera positions, venue limits and a reference for the intended look. Agree on the show-file version and rehearse the full scene, entries, exits and content changes at the planned brightness and orientation; also check signal loss and recovery.
  2. We can assess continuous color accents, smooth transitions or a different fixture if the main task needs another distribution or lower intensity. Steady performer light can be planned separately from effects. Content preparation, programming, brightness limits, rehearsal and operation are confirmed in the scope; disabling one channel alone does not guarantee the result or band-free camera images without testing.
