DMX Control
The SolaFrame 3000 fixture operates on standard DMX512 control bus, controlled by a DMX
console. A SolaFrame 3000 fixture requires 49 channels of DMX512.
Attach the fixture to the control bus using a two-core, shielded cable with a 5-pin XLR connector
(Belden 9729 is preferred).
Two XLR termination receptacles are available: one for connection of DMX Input, and one for
DMX Out (used when daisy-chaining to additional fixtures on the DMX control bus).
DMX Connector Pinout
For DMX Input, the DMX cable must have a male XLR connector on one end of the cable. When
daisy-chaining DMX, the other end of the cable must have a female XLR connector. Terminate
the cable ends as indicated in the pinout image below.
Considerations for Ethernet (Art-Net) Connectors
For fixtures connected via Ethernet (Art-Net), cable distance should not exceed 100 m, and no
more than 20 fixtures should be connected in a daisy chain.
