DLED STRIP RGBAW ™ 7. UNDERSTANDING DMX DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used by most lighting and controller manufactures as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. DMX allows all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single controller. This is possible as long as all the fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant.
DLED STRIP RGBAW ™ male and female XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also, remember that a DMX line must be daisy chained and cannot be split, unless using an approved DMX splitter Be sure to follow the above figure when making your own cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing.
DLED STRIP RGBAW ™ DMX-512 control connection Connect an XLR cable to the female XLR output of your controller and the other side to the male XLR input of the fixture (Please refer to the diagram below.). You can chain multiple moving heads together through serial linking. Remember to daisy-chain the “in” and “out” data connections. DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator A DMX terminator should be used in all DMX lines especially in longer runs.
DLED STRIP RGBAW ™ resistor that is connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This fixture is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last fixture in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a line terminator (Elation part: DMX T PACK) will decrease the possibilities of erratic behavior. 5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line.
DLED STRIP RGBAW ™ setting the correct DMX address on the digital display located on the back of the fixture. You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different address for each individual fixture. Be advised that setting all you fixtures to the same DMX address will subsequently control all fixtures in the same fashion, in other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.
