Based in Belgium, Luminex provides an impressive lineup of reliable and robust network switches, nodes, and splitters. Their technology is known for its ease of deployment and innovative design, enabling AV designers and technicians to build complete data distribution systems for events and venues of any size.
“This is a game changer!” said Dylan Jones. “Adding Luminex to our lineup means we can finally provide our customers a way to bridge the connection of both the IT and the AV world as they get closer to one another by the day.”
The journey of Luminex is a remarkable story of creativity and determination. It all started in 2002 in a humble apartment in Eksel, Belgium. CEO Bart Swinnen and co-founder Jan Renckens, both veterans in the lighting and audio realms, gathered a team of enthusiastic experts in electronics and software development. Their mission was clear: to craft innovative technology for professional lighting applications.
Initially operating as Luminex Lighting Control Equipment, the company was dedicated to pioneering advanced lighting control solutions for the entertainment industry. Their breakthrough came in 2004 with the release of the Ethernet-DMX8 node, which swiftly earned acclaim and was instrumental in managing 32 DMX lines at the Paralympic Games in Athens. Building on this success, Luminex continued to innovate and expand, establishing a significant presence in nearly 60 countries, from Australia to Canada and Croatia!
