5.3 Operation with a DMX controller
DMX is short for
D
igital
M
ultiple
x
and means digital
control of multiple DMX units via a common control
line . For operation via a DMX controller (e . g . DMX-
1440 or DMX-510USB from IMG STAGELINE), the
spotlight is equipped with 10 DMX control chan-
nels . However, it can, if required, also be controlled
via 5, 4 or 3 channels only . Please refer to chapter
5 .3 .5 for more information on channel functions
and DMX values .
5.3.1 DMX connection
For DMX connection, 3-pole XLR jacks with the fol-
lowing pin configuration are provided:
Pin 1 = ground, 2 = DMX−, 3 = DMX+
For connection, use special cables for DMX signal
transmission (e . g . cables of the CDMXN series) . For
cable lengths exceeding 150 m, it is generally rec-
ommended to insert a DMX level matching amplifier
(e . g . SR-103DMX) .
1) Connect the DMX INPUT (1) to the DMX output
of the light controller or to the DMX output of
another DMX-controlled unit .
2) Connect the DMX OUTPUT (3) to the DMX input
of the following DMX unit . Connect the output of
this DMX unit to the input of the following DMX
unit etc . until all DMX-controlled units have been
connected in a chain .
3) To prevent interference in signal transmission, in
case of long cables or a multitude of units con-
nected in series, terminate the DMX output of the
last DMX unit in the chain with a 120 Ω resistor
(> 0 .3 W): Connect a corresponding terminating
plug (e . g . DLT-123) to the DMX output jack .
5.3.2 Setting the number of DMX channels
To operate the spotlight with a light controller, the
DMX start address (
☞
chapter 5 .3 .3) and the num-
ber of DMX channels must be set . The number of
DMX channels depends on the functions required
and maybe on the number of control channels that
are available at the light controller . Please refer to
chapter 5 .3 .5 for more information on the func-
tions that are provided for 3-, 4-, 5- and 10-channel
operation, and select the number of DMX channels
accordingly:
1) Press the button MENU repeatedly until the high-
est menu level has been reached (on the very left
in the menu structure on pages 62 and 63) .
2) Press the button UP or DOWN repeatedly until
the display indicates
.
3) Press the button ENTER . The display now indicates
the current setting:
10 channels (

fig . 8; page 17)
3 channels
1 = red, 2 = green, 3 = blue
4 channels
1 = dimmer, 2 = red, 3 = green, 4 = blue
5 channels
1 = dimmer, 2 = red, 3 = green,
4 = blue, 5 = stroboscope
3 channels
1 = colour, 2 = saturation, 3 = brightness
4) Use the button UP or DOWN to select the setting
desired .
