DMX Primer
There are 512 channels in a DMX -­ 512 connection. Channels may be assigned in anyt manner. A fixture capable of receiving DMX 512 will
require one or a number of sequential channels. The user must assign a starting address on the fixture that indicates the first channel
reserved in the controller. There are many different types of DMX controllable fixtures and they all may vary in the total number of
channels required. Choosing a start address should be planned in advance. Channel s should never overlap. lftthey do, this will result in
erratic operation of the fixtures whose starting address is set incorrectly. You can however, control multiple fixtures of the same type using
the same starting address as long as the intended result is that of unison movement or operation, ln other words, the fixtures will be
slaved together and all respond exactly the same.
DMX fixtures are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy Chain conneetion is where the DATA OUT of one f ixture
connects to the DATA IN of the next fixture. The order in which the fixtures are connected is not important and has no effect on how a
controller communicates to each fixture. Use an order that provides for the easiest and most direct cabling. Conne ct fixtures using
shielded two conductor twisted pair cable with three pin XLR male to female connectors. The shield connection is pin 1, while pin 2 is Data
Negative (S -­ ) and pin 3 is Data positive (S+).
