DMX Primer

There are 512 channels in a DMX-512 connection. Channels may be assigned in any manner. A fixture capable

of receiving DMX 512 will require one or a number of sequential channels. The user must assign a starting

address on the fixture that indicates the first channel reserved in the controller. There are many different

types of DMX controllable fixtures and they all may vary in the total number of channels required. Choosing a

start address should be planned in advance. Channels should never overlap. If they do, this will result in

erratic operation of the fixtures whose starting address is set incorrectly. You can however, control multiple

fixtures of the same type using the same starting address as long as the intended result is that of unison

movement or operation. In other words, the fixtures will be slaved together and all respond exactly the same.

DMX fixtures are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy Chain connection is where the

DATA OUT of one fixture connects to the DATA IN of the next fixture. The order in which the fixtures are

connected is not important and has no effect on how a controller communicates to each fixture. Use an order

that provides for the easiest and most direct cabling. Connect fixtures using shielded two conductor twisted

pair cable with three pin XLR male to female connectors. The shield connection is pin 1, while pin 2 is Data

Negative (S-) and pin 3 is Data positive (S+).
