DMX

CONNECTION:

DMX-512

DMX (Digital Multiplex) is the designation for a universal transmission protocol for communications between

corresponding devices and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data to the connected DMX equipment.

The DMX data transmission always takes place as a serial data stream that is passed from one connected

device to the next via the "DMX IN" and "DMX OUT" connectors (XLR plug-type connectors) found on every

DMX-compatible device. (Most controllers only have a DMX output.)

DMX CONNECTION:

DMX is the common "language" via which an extremely wide range of types and models of equipment by

various manufacturers can be connected to one another and controlled via a central controller, provided

that all devices and the controller are DMX-compatible. For optimal data transmission, it is necessary to

keep the connecting cables between the individual devices as short as possible. The order in which the

devices are integrated in the DMX network has no influence on the addresses. For example, the device

with the DMX address 1 can be at any position in the (serial) DMX chain: at the beginning, at the end or

somewhere in the middle. If the DMX address 1 is assigned to a device, the controller "knows" that it

should send all data allocated to address 1 to this device regardless of its position in the DMX network.

An extensive selection of suitable cables can be found in the Adam Hall 3 STAR, 4 STAR, and 5 STAR

product lines.

SERIAL CONNECTION OF MULTIPLE SPOTLIGHTS

1. Connect the male 3-pole XLR plug of the DMX cable to the DMX output (female 3-pole socket) of the first

spotlight or other DMX device.

2. Connect the female 3-pole XLR plug of the DMX cable connected to the first spotlight with the DMX input

(male 3-pole socket) of the next DMX device. In the same manner, connect the DMX output of this device to

the DMX input of the next device, etc..

Please note that, as a rule, DMX devices are connected in series and the connections cannot be split

without active splitters.
