DMX 512
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3 pin XLR output of your controller and
the other side to the male 3 pin XLR input of the moving head. You can chain multiple
moving head together through serial linking. The cable needed should be two core,
screened cable with XLR input and output connectors.
DMX 512 connection with DMX terminator
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically
noisy environment, such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX termina-
tor. This helps in preventing corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise.
The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 ohm resistor connected between
pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last xture in the
chain. Please see illustrations below.
