DMX-512:
• DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between intelligent
fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions form 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 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. To ensure
proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path pos-
sible. The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the DMX addressing.
For example; a fixture assigned to a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the
beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. 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 matter where it is located in
the DMX chain.
DATA Cable (DMX cable) requirements (for DMX operation):
• The Equinox Domin8R 2 can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set on the back
of the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input/
output (figure 1).

Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.
Further DMX cables can be purchased from
all good sound and lighting suppliers or
Prolight dealers.
