DMX Networking Guidelines
If you are connecting more than one DMX fixture, you must understand how to configure a DMX network. If you
follow the guidelines below, it should reduce the possibility of networking errors.
1. Fixtures and other devices in a DMX network need to be configured in a daisy-chain fashion. The use of DMX "Y"
devices or "twofers" is not allowed.
2. You can use up to 32 brightline DMX fixtures on a single DMX data line. If there are more than 32 units, the use
of a DMX repeater amplifier or splitter amplifier is required. A repeater amplifier is an electronic device which
boosts the DMX signal. A splitter amplifier is an electronic device which boosts the DMX signal and provides
for multiple DMX outputs from a single DMX input (Using multiple DMX devices may cause signal degradation).
3. With most DMX devices, there is a "DMX Thru/DMX Terminate" switch that is set to "Terminate" for the last
device on the data line, and "Through" for all the others. brightline DMX fixtures are self-terminating, and this
switch is not provided.
4. brightline fixtures, as with the majority of DMX devices, use 5 pin XLR-type plugs wired according to (Table 1).
Pins 4 & 5 are not used; and on brightline fixtures, are not connected. Pin 1 (Shield) should be connected to
Earth Ground only at the Control Console.
5. Only cables intended for DMX operation should be used. Avoid DMX runs parallel to power cables, particularly
those from dimmer racks.
Note: These guidelines will help the user configure most DMX networks. For more information, contact the
manufacturer of the control console, or a DMX manual. A useful DMX guide is "Recommended Practice for
DMX-512" by Adam Bennette, co-published by PLASA in the United Kingdom and USITT in North America.
