5.3. DMX Connection

5.3.1. DMX-512 Protocol

You need a DMX serial data link to run light shows of one or more devices using a DMX-512 controller or to run synchronized shows of two or more devices set in a master/slave operating mode.

The Image Spot 170 FC has 3-pin DMX signal IN and OUT connectors.

The pin assignment is as follows:

• 3-pin: pin 1 (ground), pin 2 (-), pin 3 (+)

Devices on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in a single line. The number of devices that you can control on one data link is limited by the combined number of the DMX channels of the connected devices and the 512 channels available in one DMX universe.

To comply with the TIA-485 standard, no more than 32 devices should be connected on one data link. In order to connect more than 32 devices on one data link, you must use a DMX optically isolated splitter/booster, otherwise this may result in deterioration of the DMX signal.

Note:

• Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 300 m
• Maximum recommended number of devices on a DMX data link: 32 devices

5.3.2. DMX Cables

Shielded twisted-pair cables with 3-pin XLR connectors must be used for reliable DMX connection. You can purchase DMX cables directly from your Highlite International dealer or make your own cables.

If you use 3-pin XLR audio cables for DMX data transmission, this may lead to signal degradation and unreliable operation of the DMX network.

When you make your own DMX cables, make sure that you connect the pins and wires correctly as shown in Fig. 08.

Fig. 08

5.3.3. Master/Slave Setup

The Image Spot 170 FC supports master/slave control mode. To connect multiple devices in master/slave setup, follow the steps below:

6.8.2. Gobo Size

Fig. 17

6.8.3. Glass Gobo Orientation

Coated glass gobos are inserted with the coating against the rim of the holder. Textured gobos are inserted with the smooth side pointing away from the holder. This provides the best results when combining rotating gobos.

When an object is held up to the coated side, there is no space between the object and its reflection. The back edge of the gobo cannot be seen when looking through the coated side.

When an object is held up to the uncoated side, there is a space between the object and its reflection. The back edge of the gobo can be seen when looking through the uncoated side.
