Connecting to the Lights
1. Plug the male end of an XLR cable into DMX Output A (Cognito Starter) or
two XLR cables into DMX Outputs A and B (Cognito Pro).
2. Plug female end of the XLR cable to the DMX distribution or directly to the
dimmers and lights you wish to control.
NOTE
When Cognito is used with DMX-over-Ethernet networks, an Ethernet cable
is plugged into the RJ45 port on the rear of the console. The Ethernet
cable connects Cognito to DMX gateways, such as Pathports®, via an
Ethernet switch.
The data connection may also provide power, by supplying Power-over-
Ethernet (PoE) to the console in which case the 24V power supply is not
needed.
Power-over-Ethernet may be used simultaneously with the 24VDC power
supply.
Cognito outputs data to the Ethernet connection simultaneously with the
DMX512 ports as determined by
