DMX LINKING:
DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together and operate
from a single controller, as long as all xtures and the controller are DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data
transmission, when using several DMX xtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order in which
xtures are connected in a DMX line does not inuence the DMX addressing. For example a xture assigned to a
DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the midd-
le. When a xture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1
to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.
Please check out our comprehensive DMX cable choices out of our Adam Hall product lines 3 STAR, 4 STAR and 5 STAR
Keep in mind that DMX connections must be daisy chained. To avoid malfunction, DMX cabling should not be
divided in several lines without the use of an active splitter.
DMX LINKING:
DMX-512
DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between intelligent xtures
and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from the controller to the xture. DMX data
are sent as serial data that travel from xture to xture via the “DMX IN“ and “DMX OUT” XLR terminals
located on all DMX xtures (most controllers only have a “DMX OUT” terminal).
