●
Maximum recommended number of devices on a DMX data link: 32 devices
DMX Cables
Shielded twisted-pair cables with 3-pin XLR connectors must be used for reliable DMX connection. You
can purchase DMX cables directly from your Highlite International dealer or make your own cables.
If you use XLR audio cables for DMX data transmission, this may lead to signal degradation and unreliable
operation of the DMX network.
When you make your own DMX cables, make sure that you connect the pins and wires correctly as
shown in Fig. 11.

Master/Slave Setup
The Galactic RGB-2000 supports master/slave control mode. To connect multiple devices in a
master/slave setup, follow the steps below:
Connect the first device’s DMX OUT connector to the second device’s DMX IN connector with a
3-pin DMX cable.
Repeat step 1 to connect all devices as shown in Fig. 12.
Insert the included SD card into the SD slot (13) on each connected device.
Connect a DMX terminator (120 Ω resistor) to the DMX OUT connector of the last device in the setup.
Set the first device on the data link as a master device.
Set the remaining devices as slave devices. See 6.6.4. Master/Slave Mode on page 29 for more
information.
