VIZI CMY 16RX User Instructions Page 11
Power Supply:
The Vizi CMY 16RX contains an electronic ballast, which will
auto sense the voltage when it is plugged into the power source. With the
electronic ballast you do not need to worry about wall voltage, this unit can be
plugged in anywhere.
DMX-512:
DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used
by most lighting and controller manufactures as a form of communication
between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX
data instructions from the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial
data that travels from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR
terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA “OUT”
terminal).
DMX Linking:
DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of
different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single
controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant. To
ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX fixtures try
to use the shortest cable path possible. The order in which fixtures are
connected in a DMX line does not influence the DMX addressing. For example,
a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX line,
at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. Therefore, the first
fixture controlled by the controller could be the last fixture in the chain. When
a fixture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send
DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located in the
DMX chain.
Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Master/Slave
Operation):
The Vizi CMY 16RX can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The
Vizi CMY 16RX has two DMX channel modes (23 channel mode and 25 channel
mode). The DMX address is set electronically using the controls on the rear
panel of the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require an approved DMX-
512 110 Ohm Data cable for data input and data
output (Figure 1). We recommend AccuCable DMX
cables. If you are making your own cables, be sure
to use standard 110-120 Ohm shielded cable (This
cable be purchased at almost all professional
sound and lighting stores). Your cables should be
made with a male and female XLR connector on
either end of the cable. Also remember that DMX
cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.
