Frequently Asked Questions - to DMX Converter MARTIN
How do I reset the device to factory defaults?
Press and hold the 'Menu' and 'Select' buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds until the display shows 'Factory Reset'. Then confirm with the encoder.
Can I use this converter with a laptop running lighting software?
Yes, the converter supports Art-Net and sACN protocols over Ethernet, compatible with most DMX software like GrandMA onPC or QLC+.
What is the maximum cable length for DMX input?
For reliable DMX-512 signal, keep cable length under 300 meters (1000 feet). Use proper termination (120 ohm resistor) at the last fixture.
How do I configure the device for Art-Net mode?
Enter the Protocol menu via the encoder, select Art-Net, set the Universe number, and assign a IP address (e.g., 2.x.x.x). Reboot for changes to apply.
Can I merge two DMX input universes into one output?
Yes, use Merge Mode in the Configuration menu: choose HTP (Highest Takes Precedence) or LTP (Latest Takes Precedence). Both inputs must use the same channels.
What does the red LED indicator mean?
The red LED indicates power is connected. If blinking, it signals a data error or no DMX input. Check cable connections and ensure source is transmitting.
Is the device firmware upgradable?
Yes, firmware can be updated via USB (USB-B port on rear panel). Download the latest firmware from Martin's website and use the free Firmware Updater software.
Can I power the converter directly from a DMX cable?
No, the device requires an external power supply (DC 9-24V). It does not support Phantom Power over DMX.
How do I use the 'Hold Last State' feature?
In Fail-Safe settings, enable Hold Last. If DMX input is lost, the output freezes at the last valid frame. This prevents blackouts during brief interruptions.
What is the default IP address?
Default IP in Art-Net mode is 2.0.0.1 with subnet mask 255.0.0.0. You can change it via the Network menu.
