Thank you for choosing a SOUNDLIGHT device.
The SOUNDLIGHT DMX Splitter/Booster 34xxA is a highly sophisticated device, which was designed to buffer and
distribute DMX light control signals complying with USITT standard DMX-512 or DIN 56930/2, respectively. The
unit can be used with all standard light control systems.
Its special advantages include:
-
universal protocol decoding
Recognizes all variants of the protocol as defined by USITT/ESTA/DIN and displays the number of DMX
channels received;
-
future-proof
The unit is software controlled an can be adapted to any change in protocol definition;
-
unlimited channel count
The number of DMX channels sent or received does not affect the operation of the DMX splitter/booster 34xxA,
as the unit can handle all transmission lengths.
-
other protocols available
Besides DMX512, the unit can handle all RS-485 based transmission protocols, such as AVAB,
MARTIN, HIGH END SYSTEMS et al. When using other protocols as DMX512, the channel display, however,
will not work.
-
cost-effective
The SOUNDLIGHT 3405A / 3410A / 3420A is a cosst-effective solution for many purposes.
VERSIONS
The booster / splitter is available as pcb (printed circuit board) or as 19inch rack mount unit. There are three
versions available:
3405A
1x DMX IN, 1x DMX THRU, 5x DMX OUT
3410A
1x DMX IN, 1x DMX THRU, 10x DMX OUT
3420A
1x DMX IN, 1x DMX THRU, 20x DMX OUT
CONNECTORS
The booster/splitter is using 5/pin XLR connectors for both, input and output. This type of connector has been
standardized by USITT and by DIN.
Contact assignment:
Pin 1
screen / GND
Pin 2
DMX - (inverted)
Pin 3
DMX + (normal)
Pin 4
not used
Pin 5
not used
The input signal is directly fed to the THRU connector; all other outputs are optically isolated, and are GND- and
potential-free.
