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 first
unit in a DMX chain. If you wish to connect a DMX controller with other XLR outputs you will need to use adapter cables.
1 = ground 2 = minus signal (-) 3 = plus signal (+)
Connect the DMX output of the first unit in a DMX chain with the DMX input of the next unit in the chain. Always connect the the
output of one unit with the input of the next unit until all units are connected. If you use a controller with 5 pin DMX connection you
will need to use a 5 pin to 3 pin adapter.
