Power Supply: The ADJ Starburst contains an automatic voltage switch, which will auto sense the
voltage when it is plugged into the power source. With this switch there is no need to worry about
the correct power voltage, this unit can be plugged in anywhere.
DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used by most lighting and
controller manufacturers as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A
DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as
serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals locat-
ed on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA “OUT” terminal).
DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be
linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX
compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX fixtures try to use
the shortest cable path possible. The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not
influence the DMX addressing. For example, a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1 may be placed
anywhere in a DMX line: at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. Therefore, the first
fixture controlled by the controller could be the last fixture in the chain. When a fixture is assigned a
DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send data assigned to address 1 to that unit, no mat-
ter where it is located in the DMX chain.
Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Primary/Secondary Operation): The
Starburst can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Starburst has 12 DMX channels. The DMX
address is set electronically using the controls on the front panel of the unit. Your unit and your DMX
controller require an approved DMX-512 110 Ohm Data cable for data input and data output (Figure
1). We recommend Accu-Cable DMX cables. If you are making your own cables, be sure to use stan-
dard 110-120 Ohm shielded cable (This cable may be purchased at almost all professional sound
and lighting stores). Your cables should be made with a male XLR connector on one end of the cable
and a female XLR connector on the other. Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained
and cannot be split.
