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 LEDJ Event Panel 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.
