DMX Control and Ethernet Output
You can use DMX-512 control and Ethernet output. When a fixture is set up to receive DMX-512
control input, it converts the signal to Art-Net on IP10 and sends the signal to the Ethernet port,
continuing the Art-Net on IP10 signal to the next fixture in the control run.
Terminate DMX
Use a DMX terminator or install a resistor on the last fixture of the DMX control run to prevent
corruption (data reflection) of the digital control signal by electrical noise.
A DMX terminator is an XLR plug with a 120
Ω
resistor connected between pins 2 and 3 that can
be installed into the DMX output receptacle of the last fixture in the DMX control run. This plug
is available and sold separately. Contact your local High End dealer for ordering information
(visit
to locate a High End dealer).
Set the DMX Start Address
Give each fixture a unique DMX starting address so that the correct fixture responds to the
control signals. This DMX start address is the channel number from which the fixture starts to
“listen” to the digital control information sent out from the control source.
Modify the fixture DMX start address on the user interface, located on the upper enclosure. See
.
Example:
The TurboRay requires 53 channels of control in standard mode. If you set
the DMX starting address of the first fixture to 1, you could set the second fixture to 54
(53+1), the third to 108, and so on.
