MotionOrb™ User Manual Rev. 1
DMX linking is daisy chaining more than one MotionOrb™, through the DMX In and Out ports.
The MotionOrb™ has two modes that require DMX linking:
· Master/Slave mode, in which the master MotionOrb™ sends DMX signals to the
MotionOrb™ slaves
· DMX mode, in which the DMX controller sends DMX signals to the MotionOrb™
To DMX link MotionOrb™ products do the following:
1. Connect the male end of the DMX cable to the DMX Out port of the master MotionOrb™, or
the DMX controller.
2. Connect the female end of the DMX cable to the DMX In port of the next MotionOrb™.
3. Connect the male end of another DMX cable to the DMX Out port of the MotionOrb™ in
step 2.
4. Connect the female end of the DMX cable into the next MotionOrb™.
5. Continue connecting each other MotionOrb™ until they are all part of the chain.
· When DMX linking MotionOrb™ products for Master/Slave mode, the master is the
first MotionOrb™ in the chain and there is no DMX controller. See
Configuration for details.
· When DMX linking MotionOrb™ products for DMX mode, the DMX controller is the
first thing in the line.
· Never connect more than 32 MotionOrb™ products together on a single DMX chain.
