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 as a rule, DMX devices are connected in series and connections cannot be shared without active splitters.
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.
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.

DMX TERMINATORS (TERMINATING RESISTORS)
To prevent system errors, the last device in a DMX chain needs to be equipped with a terminating resistor (120 ohm, 1/4 Watt).
