DMX TERMINATOR
In the Controller mode, at the last fixture in the chain, the DMX output has to be connected with a DMX terminator. This
prevents electrical noise from disturbing and corrupting the DMX control signals.
The DMX terminator is simply an XLR connector with a 120
Ω
(ohm) resistor connected across pins 2 and 3, which is
then plugged into the output socket on the last projector in the chain. The connections are illustrated below.

TO SET THE DMX START ADDRESS
Each MEGA COLOUR 2000 must be given a DMX start address so that the correct projector responds to the correct
control signals. This DMX start address is the channel number from which the projector starts to “listen” to the digital
control information being sent out from the controller. The MEGA COLOUR 2000 has 2 DMX modes. There are
standard mode and short mode. For example standard mode has 13 channels, so set the No. 1 projector’s address 001,
No. 2 projector’s address 014, No. 3 projector’s address 027, No. 4 projector’s address 040, and so on.
Launch the projector. Press button ENTER more than 5 seconds to unlock panel.

controlled by controller.
