6 Operation via a Light Controller
For operation via a DMX light controller (e . g .
DMX-1440 or DMX-510USB from IMG STAGE-
LINE), the MINICUBE-60 is equipped with 69
DMX control channels . The unit can also be con-
trolled via 27, 23 or 8 channels if the functions
provided are sufficient (
☞
pages 20 – 22) or
if the number of channels available on the light
controller is less than 69 .
DMX (

igital
M
ultiple
x
) means digital control
of multiple DMX units via a common control line .
6.1 Connection
For DMX signal transmission, special cables are
recommended (e . g . cables of the CDMXN se-
ries from IMG STAGELINE) . For cable lengths
exceeding 150 m or when controlling more than
32 units via a single DMX output, it is generally
recommended to insert a DMX level matching
amplifier (e . g . SR-103DMX) .
1) Connect the DMX input (6) to the DMX out-
put of the light controller .
2) Connect the DMX output (5) to the DMX
input of the following light effect unit . Pro-
ceed in the same way to connect the output
of the second unit to the input of the third
unit etc . until all light effect units have been
connected in a chain .
3) Terminate the DMX output of the last DMX
unit in the chain with a 120 Ω resistor
(> 0 .3 W): Connect a corresponding termi-
nating plug (e . g . DLT-123) to the DMX output
jack .
