DMX-512 CONNECTION
If you are using a standard DMX controller, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly to the DMX input of the

If you use a controller with 5 pin DMX connection you will need to use a 5-pin to 3-pin adapter.

into a 3-pin XLR connector and plug this into the DMX output of the last fixture in the chain.
