SDI-DMX Mixer Pro User Manual

Connecting to Communication Interface

The SDI-DMX Mixer Pro can accept DMX Controller commands or RS232 
commands. 

NOTE: Only one signal type should be used at any one time. Connection 

and transmission of both signal types may result in erratic 
behaviour.

You can set a DMX Start Channel for the unit using the menu system. See 

AddR (Address) 

on page 6.

Connecting to the DMX 512 link

The DMX512 control is connected by the 5-pin XLR connectors on the rear 
of the unit. The unit features a DMX in and DMX through port for connection 
to other devices. Plug in the DMX  cable and also the DMX Thru cable if 
required.

Connecting the RS232 Interface

The unit features an RS232 serial port for computer control and system 
integration. This is connected via the D-Type connector on the rear of the 
unit. 

Connecting to Power

Power for the units is supplied in the form of a plug-top mains adapter or 
inline mains "brick". This is an auto-ranging unit and can be used with any 
mains voltage.

The low voltage DC connector plugs into the power connector on the rear of 
the unit and secures by means of a screw thread. 

CAUTION! Always unscrew the connector before 
attempting to remove it! Failure to do so may result in 
damage to the connector, mains adapter or unit. 

Original PSUs must be used with these units. Using a 
non-OEM PSU may result in damage to the unit and will 
void the warranty. PSUs may be ordered from  your 
local distributor.
