3-Pin / 5-Pin
If you use a controller with a 5 pin DMX output connector, you will need to use a 5 pin to 3 pin adapter.
They are widely available over the internet and from specialty retailers If you'd like to build your own,
the chart below details a proper cable conversion:

Take It To The Next Level: Setting Up
DMX Control
Step 1: Connect the male connector of the DMX
cable to the female connector (output) on the con-
troller.
Step 2: Connect the female connector of the DMX
cable to the first fixture's male connector (input).
Note: It doesn't matter which fixture address is the
first one connected. We recommend connecting the
fixtures in terms of their proximity to the controller,
rather than connecting the lowest fixture number
first, and so on.
Step 3: Connect other fixtures in the chain from
output to input as above. Place a DMX terminator
on the output of the final fixture to ensure best
communication.
