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.
The Adam Hall 3 STAR, 4 STAR, and 5 STAR product ranges include an extensive selection of suitable
cables.
SERIAL CONNECTION OF MULTIPLE LIGHTS
1.) Connect the male 3-pole XLR connector of the DMX cable to the DMX output (female 3-pole socket) of
the first light or other DMX device.
2.) Connect the female 3-pole connector of the DMX cable connected to the first light to the DMX input
(male 3-pole socket) of the next DMX device. In like manner, 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.
