System layouts
Figure 8 gives examples of how systems can be laid out depending on the type of control required. Note the
different results of connecting to DMX THROUGH or to DMX OUT. Panels are set to 16-bit mode in all the
examples.
Warning! The above diagram and the text in the section that precedes it cover the DMX data link and
describe the limitations imposed by the DMX system only. Do not confuse them with power
connections, which are subject to maximum current limitations. Refer to “AC power” on page 15 for
details of establishing power circuits.
Figure 8: System layouts
A. Individual control
Panels respond to different commands sent to different DMX addresses and can be controlled independently. Max.
512 DMX channels per chain using DMX OUT.
B. Grouped control, one group
Panels have same DMX address and behave identically. Max. 32 panels per chain using DMX THROUGH before a
splitter-amplifier is required.
C. Grouped control, three groups (6 panels controlled in 3 pairs)
Pairs of panels with same DMX address behave identically. Each pair has a different DMX address and can be
controlled independently as a pair. Max. 512 DMX channels per chain using DMX OUT.
