Now imagine a simple DMX system (Figure 2), where:
•
The Cable TV Company is the DMX Control Console
•
The Cable is the DMX Cable
•
The Decoder is the DMX Decoder (built into a Dimmer)
•
The TV is the Lighting Fixture
Figure 2
The DMX Control Console will broadcast up to 512 channels over one DMX Cable. Some of these channels
may not be used, but will still be transmitted, as required by the protocol. The Decoder in this example is built
into the Dimmer. It must be set to a desired channel (channel 001, in this example) to control the connected
Light Fixture. This is usually accomplished using a DIP switch or LED/LCD display. This desired ‘channel’ is
commonly known as the DMX address.
