Returns Procedure The user must send the merchandise prepaid, in the original box, and with its original packing and accessories. CHAUVET® will not issue call tags. Call CHAUVET® and request a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number before shipping the fixture. Be prepared to provide the model number, serial number, and a brief description of the cause for the return. The user must clearly label the package with a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number.
DMX Primer The USITT DMX512-A data transmission protocol (DMX, from now on) is based on the EIA-485 standard and it has 512 channels (001 to 512). This system requires a controller (DMX controller), one or more DMX compatible fixtures, and a DMX circuit (also known as “DMX universe”) to link the fixtures to the controller. Depending on their complexity and features, DMX compatible fixtures may require from one to more than 30 DMX channels to operate.
DMX Cabling The DMX protocol requires using special data cables to accommodate for the high speed digital signals it uses. Despite their apparent similarities, data cables are electrically different from standard microphone cables because they can carry high frequency digital signals and have better protection against electromagnetic interference. You can purchase CHAUVET® certified DMX cables directly from a dealer/distributor or make your own DMX cable.
