5.3 Operation with a DMX controller
DMX is short for Digital Multiplex and means digital
control of multiple DMX units via a common control
line. For operation via a DMX controller (e. g. DMX-
1440 or DMX-510USB from IMG STAGELINE), the
spotlight is equipped with 10 DMX control chan-
nels. However, it can, if required, also be controlled
via 5, 4 or 3 channels only. Please refer to chapter
5.3.5 for more information on channel functions
and DMX values.
5.3.1 DMX connection
For DMX connection, 3-pole XLR jacks with the fol-
lowing pin configuration are provided:
Pin 1 = ground, 2 = DMX−, 3 = DMX+
For connection, use special cables for DMX signal
transmission (e. g. cables of the CDMXN series). For
cable lengths exceeding 150 m, it is generally rec-
ommended to insert a DMX level matching amplifier
(e. g. SR-103DMX).
1) Connect the DMX INPUT (1) to the DMX output
of the light controller or to the DMX output of
another DMX-controlled unit.
2) Connect the DMX OUTPUT (3) to the DMX input
of the following DMX unit. Connect the output of
this DMX unit to the input of the following DMX
unit etc. until all DMX-controlled units have been
connected in a chain.
3) To prevent interference in signal transmission, in
case of long cables or a multitude of units con-
nected in series, terminate the DMX output of the
last DMX unit in the chain with a 120 Ω resistor
(> 0.3 W): Connect a corresponding terminating
plug (e. g. DLT-123) to the DMX output jack.
5.3.2 Setting the number of DMX channels
To operate the spotlight with a light controller, the
DMX start address (
☞
chapter 5.3.3) and the num-
ber of DMX channels must be set. The number of
DMX channels depends on the functions required
and maybe on the number of control channels that
are available at the light controller. Please refer to
chapter 5.3.5 for more information on the func-
tions that are provided for 3-, 4-, 5- and 10-channel
operation, and select the number of DMX channels
accordingly:
1) Press the button MENU repeatedly until the high-
est menu level has been reached (on the very left
in the menu structure on pages 62 and 63).
2) Press the button UP or DOWN repeatedly until
the display indicates .
3) Press the button ENTER. The display now indicates
the current setting:
10 channels (
☞
fig. 8; page 17)
3 channels
1 = red, 2 = green, 3 = blue
4 channels
1 = dimmer, 2 = red, 3 = green, 4 = blue
5 channels
1 = dimmer, 2 = red, 3 = green,
4 = blue, 5 = stroboscope
3 channels
1 = colour, 2 = saturation, 3 = brightness
4) Use the button UP or DOWN to select the setting
desired.
