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 form the 

  controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via the 

  DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only   

  have a data “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 middle. 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.

DATA Cable (DMX cable) requirements (for DMX operation):

• The Pro White LED Matrix Block can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is 

  set on the back of the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR 

  connector for data input/output (figure 1).

Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

Further DMX cables can be purchased 

from all good sound and lighting suppliers 

or Prolight dealers.
