FUNCTIONS
(REAR)
15. FIXTURE OUTPUTS: used to connect the LED projectors in a "star-configuration". All 6 outputs use 4
channels, each with the same order: R+G+B+DIM (or DIM+R+G+B ~ see setup menu)
16. DMX OUT: used to connect all LED projectors in a "daisy chain configuration" (all units in one DMX line).
The channels of the different projectors are merged to 24 channels:
 Fixture1 = channels 001 to 004
 Fixture2 = channels 005 to 008
 Fixture3 = channels 009 to 012
 Fixture4 = channels 013 to 016
 Fixture5 = channels 017 to 020
 Fixture6 = channels 021 to 024
17. DMX IN: normally not used BUT you can connect an external DMX-controller. As soon as a DMX-signal
is detected on this input, this DMX-signal takes precedence of the outputs generated by the LED
Director. This means that an external DMX-controller can automatically take over the control over the
fixtures connected to the DMX-outputs. You can even determine starting from which address the
incoming DMX-channels should be routed to the outputs (see item 5 in the chapter "setup menu").
18. DMX THROUGH: This is an exact copy of the DMX input (17) and is used to daisy chain the LED
Director in a big installation.
19. DC-INPUT: input for power adapter. The input supports 9V
CONNECTIONS
The LED fixtures can be connected to the LED Director in two ways:
STAR CONFIGURATION
The 6 DMX-outputs (15) are used and the
connected LED fixtures all have start address
001. Of course you can put several LED fixtures
(ex. 1A and 1B on the drawing) on one output
but all should have the same start address 001.
DAISY CHAIN CONFIGURATION
All LED fixtures are connected to DMX-out (16).
All LED fixtures receive their own start address,
(see n°16 in the previous chapter) depending on
which of the 6 channels you want to assign them
to.
