DMX-512:
DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro-
tocol used 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 trav-
els from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR ter-
minals located 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.
Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Master/Slave
Operation):
The D-Light can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The
D-Light is a two channel DMX unit. The DMX address is set on the
rear panel of the D-Light. Your unit and your DMX controller require a
standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input and data output. If you
are making your own cables, be sure to use stan-
dard two conductor shielded cable (This cable
may be purchased at almost all pro sound and
lighting stores). Your cables should be made with
a male and female XLR connector on either end of
the cable. Also remember that DMX cable must be
daisy chained and can not be split.
