DMX connectors:
3 pin female XLR socket is for DMX output, 3 pin male XLR socket is for DMX input
From a cable length of 300m or to 32 connected DMX devices, the signal should be amplified by means of a DMX
splitter / repeater (eg Involight DMXS4, DMXS6 or DMXS8) to ensure error-free data transmission.
IMPORTANT: The last device in a DMX chain should have a terminator connected to terminate the chain. DMX
terminators are commercially available, but can also be built yourself. A 120-ohm resistor must be soldered in an
XLR plug between the two poles (+ and -).
3.7 Connection in "Master / Slave" mode:
When you configure a group of devices in the "Master / Slave" mode, the first device controls the others and
allows an automatic or music-controlled and synchronized show. This feature is especially useful for starting a
show without great programming. Connect the DMX output of the master device to the DMX input of the first slave
device. Then, connect the DMX output of the first slave device to the DMX input of the second slave device, and
so on.
3.8 Stand-alone operation:
“HIVE” can also be used in stand-alone mode without a DMX controller. Disconnect the “HIVE” from the controller
and call the preprogrammed program.
