RJ45 Models
Push-Fit Terminal Models
Plug the DMX source cable into either
DMX IN/THRU connector.
Connect the DMX source cable
into the DMX INPUT terminals.
If this MDR-DIN splitter is the last device
at the end of the DMX512 input cable,
connect a 120 ohm resistor to the other
DMX IN/THRU connector. See section
1.7 for the pin-outs.
If the MDR splitter is not the last device
on the line, the other DMX IN/THRU
connector can be used to connect the
DMX to other equipment.
If this MDR-DIN splitter is the last
device at the end of the DMX512
input cable, connect a 120 ohm
resistor across the DMX INPUT
terminals.
If the MDR splitter is not the last
device on the line, the same DMX
INPUT terminals can be used to
connect the DMX to other
equipment in parallel.
Connect the DMX512 output cable(s) to
the DMX512 output connector(s).
Connect the DMX512 output
cable(s) to the DMX512 output
terminals.
1.3
RDM ENABLE
Some older DMX-controlled equipment is not compatible with RDM data and
could flash or flicker when RDM data is present. To overcome this problem, each
individual output port can have the RDM data turned off via the front-panel
switches.
1.4

The
DMX512 data LED

•
The
RDM data LED
