DMX Primer
There are 512 channels in a DMX-512 connection. Channels may be assigned in any
manner. A fixture capable of receiving DMX 512 will require one or a number of
sequential channels. The user must assign a starting address on the fixture that indicates
the first channel reserved in the controller. There are many different types of DMX
controllable fixtures and they all may vary in the total number of channels required.
Choosing a start address should be planned in advance. Channels should never overlap.
If they do, this will result in erratic operation of the fixtures whose starting address is
set incorrectly. You can however, control multiple fixtures of the same type using the
same starting address as long as the intended result is that of unison movement or
operation. In other words, the fixtures will be slaved together and all respond exactly the
same. DMX fixtures are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy
Chain connection is where the DATA OUT of one fixture connects to the DATA IN of the
next fixture. The order in which the fixtures are connected is not important and has no
effect on how a controller communicates to each fixture. Use an order that provides for
the easiest and most direct cabling. Connect fixtures using shielded two conductor
twisted pair cable with three pin XLR male to female connectors. The shield connection is
pin 1, while pin 2 is Data Negative (S-) and pin 3 is Data positive (S+).
