DMX-512

DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and 

controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from the controller to the fixture. DMX data are sent as 

serial data that travel from fixture to fixture via the “DMX IN“ and “DMX OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX 

fixtures (most controllers only have a “DMX OUT” terminal).

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 fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data 

transmission, when using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order in which 

fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture 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 fixture 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 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.
