DMX CONNECTION:

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.
SERIAL CONNECTION OF MULTIPLE LIGHTS
1. Connect the male 3-pin IP65 connector of the DMX cable to the DMX output (female 3-pin connector) of
the first projector or other DMX device.
2. Connect the female 3-pin IP65 connector of the DMX cable connected to the first projector to the DMX-
input (male 3-pin connector) 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.
An extensive selection of suitable IP65 DMX extension cables, IP65 power extension cables and adapter
cables, is available on the Internet at www.cameolight.com.
Please note that as a rule, DMX devices are connected in series and connections cannot be shared without
active splitters.
The use of a terminator reduces interference and can prevent problems in signal transmission. Therefore, it
is always advisable to insert a DMX end unit (resistance 120 Ohm, 1/4 W) between DMX- and DMX+ of the
last device in the chain (dust- and jet-proof cable cap no. CLIPDMXTERM).
