DMX SET UP
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 possible. 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.
Further DMX cables can be
purchased from all good sound and
lighting suppliers or Prolight dealers.
