ITALIANOPOLSKIESPAÑOL FRANCAISFRANCAIS FRANCAISFRANCAIS FRANCAISDEUTSCHENGLISH16 17 ENGLISHDEUTSCHFRANCAIS FRANCAISFRANCAIS FRANCAISFRANCAIS ESPAÑOLPOLSKIITALIANO DMX-512 DMX (Digital Multiplex) is the name of a universal transmission protocol for communication between corresponding devices and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data to the connected DMX device(s). The DMX data is always transmitted as a serial data stream that is forwarded from one connected device to the next via the "DMX IN" and "DMX OUT" connectors (XLR plug-type connectors) that are found on every DMX-capable device. (Most controllers only have a DMX output.) DMX CONNECTION: DMX is the common "language" via which a very wide range of types and models of equipment from various manufacturers can be connected with one another and controlled via a central controller, provided that all of the devices and the controller are DMX-compatible. For optimum data transmission, it is necessary to keep the connecting cables between the individual devices as short as possible. The order in which the devices are integrated in the DMX network has no influence on addressing. Thus the device with the DMX address 1 can be located at any position in the (serial) DMX chain: at the beginning, at the end or somewhere in the middle. If the DMX address 1 is assigned to a device, the controller "knows" that it should send all data allocated to address 1 to this device regardless of its position in the DMX network. The Adam Hall 3 STAR, 4 STAR, and 5 STAR product ranges include an extensive selection of suitable cables.

SERIAL CONNECTION OF MULTIPLE LIGHTS

1.) Connect the male 3-pole XLR connector of the DMX cable to the DMX output (female 3-pole socket) of the first light or other DMX device. 2.) Connect the female 3-pole connector of the DMX cable connected to the first light to the DMX input (male 3-pole socket) of the next DMX device. In like manner, connect the DMX output of this device to the DMX input of the next device and repeat until all devices have been connected. Please note that as a rule, DMX devices are connected in series and connections cannot be shared without active splitters. DMX CONNECTION:16 17 ITALIANOPOLSKIESPAÑOL FRANCAISFRANCAIS FRANCAISFRANCAIS FRANCAISDEUTSCHENGLISH DMX CABLES: When fabricating your own cables, always observe the illustrations on this page. Never connect the shielding of the cable to the ground contact of the plug, and always make certain that the shielding does not come into contact with the housing of the XLR plug. If the shielding is connected to the ground, this can lead to short- circuiting and system malfunctions.
