Setting up and using the OSO DIS-H
OSO DIS-H antenna
Please unpack the unit and all accessories before mounting the included antenna. Mount the antenna on the
antenna connector by turning it clockwise. The antenna can be bent for better positioning once it has been
mounted.
Powering the unit
Connect the power cable to the power input of the device plug it into a suitable wall outlet. Once power is
detected, the unit will turn on.
The user can choose to use the DIS-H in wired or wireless mode. When in wireless mode, the wireless
section will be active and show the current status on the LED indicator. When in wired mode, the device will
use the wired DMX input as a source.
Using the wired connection
Connect a 3-pin DMX cable from your lighting console to your DMX splitter. This way, the incoming signal will
be split over the several outputs, providing a strong and isolated signal for each output.
Please note, the OSO 4DIS-H and 8DIS-H have an extra output next to the DMX input; this is just a link
output, directly connected to the input.
Using the wireless connection
If there is a signal present from the OSO W-D transmitter, the units will both blink to determine their status.
Common status:
Transmitter status:
- red blinking: sending wireless DMX signal
- red full on: no DMX signal
Receiver status:
- green blinking: receiving wireless DMX signal
- green full on: no wireless signal
The transmitter can be plugged directly into a lighting console or DMX computer interface. The receiver can
be plugged into one of your DMX lighting fixtures. It’s also possible to connect the transmitter somewhere
else in the signal chain, in case you wish to transfer the signal further from a lighting fixture near your setup.
It may be practical to use a standard XLR cable between the wireless DMX transmitter/receiver and the
console or lights, in order to to position the devices better. This has no influence on the operation of the
devices.
To ensure a connection between the transmitter and receiver, make sure both devices are set to the same
ID. You can do this by pressing the red button on the unit. When you press the button, the unit will go to the
next ID and show the corresponding colour. There are 7 IDs, each with a different coloured RGB LED. Once
the desired ID shows up, the device will go back to showing the current status.
Once a connection has been established, the transmitter will blink red and the receiver will blink green. DMX
data can now be transferred from the lighting console to the DMX lighting fixtures.
Stability and reliability when in use
Please note that the OSO DIS-H works on the global free to use 2.4 GHz band. The system makes use of
the 7 IDs to ensure that up to 7 systems can work together.
However, please be aware that the 2.4 GHz band is also used by lots of other equipment, such as:
- laptops
- smartphones
