DMXTECHNOLOGY:
DMX-512
DMX (Digital Multiplex) is the designation for a universal transmission protocol for communications 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, provided the maximum number of devices does not exceed 32 units. The last device
in the chain needs to be equipped with a terminator (terminating resistor).

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 the addresses.
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.
SERIAL CONNECTION OF MULTIPLE LIGHTS
1. Connect the male XLR connector (3-pin or 5-pin) of the DMX cable to the DMX output (female XLR
socket) of the first DMX device (e.g. DMX controller).
2. Connect the female 3-pin XLR connector of the DMX cable connected to the first projector to the DMX
input (male 3-pin socket) of the next DMX device. In the same way, 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 DMX units are fundamentally connected serially and that the connections should not
be shared without an active splitter. The maximum number of DMX devices in a DMX chain should not
exceed 32 units.
The Adam Hall 3 STAR, 4 STAR, and 5 STAR product ranges include an extensive selection of suitable cables.
