Frequently Asked Questions - DMX Merge Showtec
How do I connect the DMX Merge?
Connect two DMX sources to the input XLR connectors and the merged output to your DMX devices via the output XLR connector. Ensure all devices use DMX512-A protocol.
What merge modes are available?
The DMX Merge supports HTP (Highest Takes Precedence), LTP (Latest Takes Precedence), and Priority modes. Select via DIP switches on the rear panel.
How is the device powered?
It can be powered via an external 9V DC power supply (center positive) or through phantom power from the DMX line. Check your setup for compatibility.
Can I use it with 5-pin XLR cables?
The device uses 3-pin XLR connectors. If your equipment uses 5-pin, you will need adapters or custom cables.
What do the LEDs indicate?
The power LED indicates the unit is on. The input and output LEDs flash with DMX activity. A steady or absent light may indicate a connection or signal issue.

Is it rackmountable?
Yes, it is a 1U 19-inch rackmount unit. Mounting screws are not included.
What is the maximum cable length?
For reliable DMX signal, keep cable runs under 300 meters (1000 feet) total per line. Use proper DMX termination if needed.
Can I merge more than two inputs?
This model merges only two inputs. For more inputs, cascade multiple merges or use a DMX merger with more ports.
What should I do if there is no DMX output?
Check power, cable connections, and that the input sources are transmitting. Verify the merge mode settings and try resetting the unit.
