Dr.-Ing. Christian Nöding

Dr.-Ing. Christian Nöding is a specialized lighting-technology publisher whose sole public offering, PC_DIMMER, turns any Windows computer into a full-featured DMX512 control desk. Designed for theaters, clubs, touring productions, architectural installations and hobby light-builders, the program provides a timeline-based cue engine, live fader banks, pixel-mapping, effects generator and support for ART-Net, sACN, USB-DMX interfaces and MIDI controllers. Users can patch hundreds of fixtures from an constantly updated library, create chases and scenes, run sound-to-light sync, and trigger cues through hotkeys, DMX-in, date/time or astronomical clock. A built-in 3D visualizer plots beams, gobos and color mixes on a virtual stage, allowing pre-programming without physical rigs, while the pixel matrix editor simplifies LED-wall mapping and RGB bar programming. Network multi-user mode lets several operators share one show file across wings or FOH positions, and the software’s modest CPU footprint lets modest laptops drive thousands of channels. Frequent updates add new fixture profiles, protocol extensions and user-requested workflow tweaks, keeping the package aligned with evolving LED, laser and moving-head hardware. PC_DIMMER software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always fetch the newest release, and can be installed individually or in batch alongside other applications.
