Are network-based communication protocols to control compatible LED fixtures and classified as DVI-based output in
MADRIX 5.
DMX512 [DMX-OUT]
DMX512, often abridged to DMX, is an unidirectional communication protocol used mainly to control stage lighting,
which uses 5-pin XLR connectors as defined by the standard. 3-pin connectors are also common, but not defined as
standard connectors.
When working with DMX-based products, each fixture needs a specific attribution via its DMX channel and its DMX
universe. With the specific DMX channel and DMX universe, the LED product can be identified directly for a correct
communication with the fixture.
DMX-IN
You can send or receive DMX512 data. DMX-IN refers to DMX512 input, which you can receive in MADRIX 5.
DMX Channel
A total of 512 DMX channels is available per DMX universe. Each DMX channel is an individual control channel. Valid
values range from 0 to 255, with a total of 256 values.
DMX Universe
A DMX universe contains 512 DMX channels and represents 1 DMX line. To control more than 512 DMX channels,
more than 1 DMX universes need to be used. For example, 2 DMX universes represent 1024 DMX channels.
For example, you can control 170 RGB fixtures per DMX universe. That means, calculating 170 fixtures x 3 channels
results in 510 DMX channels. Therefore, channel 511 and 512 will be left empty.
And if your are using more then 170 fixtures, those DMX channels will be assigned to a new DMX universe [e.g., DMX
universe 2].
DVI
DVI is another way to output a video signal for your LEDs. Certain LED products use this type of communication.
MADRIX 5 features 2 DVI outputs, which are 1-to-1 output windows. You can then send the DVI outputs to any
