DMX signal and convert them into 0 to +10V analogue signals. Any
number of DMX dtr units can be ‘daisy- chained’ together to enable all 512
channels to be
utilised if required.
For full operation and connection details, refer to the User Guide supplied
with the DMX dtr unit, but please note the following important points:
 The Tx– Rx slider switch on the back panel must be set to the Rx
(receive) position.
 The Address Select dials on the front panel must be set to the first
Channel number in a block of 36 that the unit is to decode. For
example, the first unit should be set to address 001 (channels 1 to
36), the second unit to address 037 (Channels 37 to 72), etc.
Connect the VENTURA’s dmx 1 out or dmx 2 out connector to the DMX In
