Ruby Royal
Set Up
Power Supply:
The American DJ
®
Ruby Royal contains a automatic
voltage switch, which will auto sense the voltage when it is plugged
into the power source. With this switch there is no need to worry about
the correct power voltage, this unit can be plugged in anywhere.
DMX-512:
DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro-
tocol 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 fix-
ture. 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 sin-
gle controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX com-
pliant. 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 as-
signed 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 Ruby Royal can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol.
The Ruby Royal is a 6 channel DMX unit. The DMX address is set elec-
tronically using the controls on the rear panel of
the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require
a approved DMX-512 110 Ohm Data cable for data
input and data output (Figure 1). We recommend
Accu-Cable DMX cables. If you are making your
own cables, be sure to use standard 110-120 Ohm
shielded cable (This cable may 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
