outputs on the back of the console, or over an Ethernet protocol (see
section
14 on page 213.)
By default, DMX Lines 1-4 are connected to the four XLRs on the
console.
The 5-pin XLR sockets on the console are wired like this:
Pin 1 Earth
Pin 2 Data -
Pin 3 Data +
Pin 4 Not used
Pin 5 Not used
Each DMX line should pass through all the fixtures to be connected on
that line one after the other and have a DMX terminator fitted at the
end (120 ohm resistor between pins 2 and 3). You should not split
the DMX lines using passive splitters (Y-splits) as this can corrupt the
data.
2.2.6 Connecting a monitor
If you are not using the Touch Wing, you should connect a VGA
computer monitor to the console. This gives you extra screen space
for workspace windows which can be handy for showing Visualiser or
other information windows, and displays some functions which aren't
shown on the internal LCD screen.
The external monitor is disabled by default and will show a 'disabled'
message. To enable, switch to System mode and select [Display
Setup] then press [External Display Disconnected]. The option will
change to [External Display Connected] and the display will be
enabled.
If you need to change the monitor resolution or settings, touch 'Tools'
at the very top of the screen and select 'Control Panel', then 'External
Monitor', then select the option to match the resolution of your
monitor.
There are more details about setting up an external monitor,
including troubleshooting help, on page 230.
2.2.7 Other connections
You can connect an external keyboard and mouse to the console if
you prefer not to use the keyboard and/or mouse touchpad in the
drawer. You can connect either USB keyboard/mouse or use the
green/purple PS/2 connectors on the rear of the console - if using
PS/2 devices, plug the devices in before powering up the console.
The console provides MIDI connections which can be used to trigger
playbacks or connect MIDI timecode to the console for timecode-
controlled cue lists.
You can connect the console to a LAN (local area network) using the
RJ45 socket on the rear. This allows you to operate many more
universes of DMX using DMX network protocols.
