CONTROL CONNECTION
Connection between controller and projector and between one projector and another must be made with a 2 core-screened cable, with
each core having at least a 0.5mm diameter. Connection to and from the projector is via cannon 5 pin (which are included with the
projector). The XLR's are connected as shown in the figure above.
Note: care should be taken to ensure that none of the pins touch the metallic body of the plug or each other. The body of the plug is not
connected in any way. The projector accepts digital control signals in protocol DMX512 (1990).
Connect the controller’s output to the first fixture’s input, and connect the first fixture’s output to the second fixture’s input and connect
the rest fixtures in the same way. Eventually connect the last fixture’s output to a DMX terminator as shown in the figure below.

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
(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.
