If you are using a DMX controller to operate the Pro 1220 you will first have to decide which DMX
protocol you will use since this will influence on the number of DMX channels the Pro 1220
requires for operation. The following table shows the four different DMX protocols available. Pro-
tocol# 0 is only for use with a Martin controller.
3 pin XLR female:
Pin 1 = GND (screen)
Pin 2 = signal (+)
Pin 3 = signal (-)
5 pin XLR male:
Pin 1 = GND (screen)
Pin 2 = signal (-)
Pin 3 = signal (+)
Pin 4 = N/C
Pin 5 = N/C
