CONNECTION AND CABLING
The Colour changers can be operated from either and analog or DMX digital signal.
The interconnecting cables which connect the Rainbows carry both power and data
and should be rated for both. The connection of the units is as follows:
POWERING THE UNITS
Rainbow Colour Changers are powered by a 24V DC supply which is derived from
a central power supply. This can either be a Maxi combined Power Supply/Splitter
or separate power supply/splitter combination. Traditionally the PSUs have been
rated in terms of the number of 8" RCC units which can be driven from one supply.
This does not apply to the larger Rainbows which take approximately twice
the current of the 8" colour changer.
One 15" RCC counts as two units.
