Is it possible to use DMX to control Unreal lights?

I would like to collaborate with a lighting designer who works with DMX to control the virtual lighting of my Unreal scene. Is it possible to bring a DMX signal into Unreal to control lighting actors? Thanks!

Yes it is possible, you just need to import the DMX plugins and drag the different types of lights into the scene.

Here there’s a tutorial that can help you: [DMX Input][1]

Hey there,

it is possible. Over LAN or TCP/IP to DMX over artNet.
I have similar years on develope FX Light shows. The best hardware i’ve used are from DMX4All.

TCP/IP artNet bridge is a good brigde to translate TCP/IP artNet commands to DMX.
