  • Page 9: Connecting To A Network

    Connecting to a Network KlingNet Settings: 01) Install a KlingNet based software on your PC (Windows or Mac). 02) Connect the TPix Panel to a power supply via the PowerCON input. 03) Make sure the PC has a fixed IP Address. No further network settings need to be adjusted. 04) Connect the TPix Panel to your computer via a CAT-5/CAT-6 cable (see page 10). Once the fixtures have been connected the will be automatically recognised by the KlingNet based software. 05) Map the devices using the “drag and drop” method, placing the fixtures in the “on-screen” interface on the right position. This will take a few minutes and once done the system is fully set up. Please note: When creating large setups, it is recommended to use a 16-bit, high speed ethernet switch to transmit the KlingNet data signal. ArtNet Settings: 01) Install an ArtNet based software on your PC (Windows or Mac). 02) Connect the TPix Panel to a power supply via the PowerCON input. 03) Connect the TPix Panel to your software/controller via a CAT-5/CAT-6 cable (see page 10). 04) Set the IP address of the software/controller to 2.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x, depending on the ArtNet settings. 05) Set the Subnet mask to 255.0.0.0 on both the TPix Panel and the software/controller. Make sure that all fixtures in the network have a unique IP address. Please note: If you want to connect more than one fixture operating in 432 channel mode is advised. Follow the example below: Example: TPix Panel 432 channel mode 01) Make sure that each connected TPix Panel has a unique IP address. 02) Make sure the Subnet mask on each fixture is set to 255.0.0.0. 03) Set the universe of the first TPix Panel to 1. 04) Set the first TPix Panels DMX Address to 001. Please note: Due to the TPix Panel having 432 DMX channels you cannot connect a second panel in the same universe as the limit for one universe is 512 DMX channels. 05) Set the second TPix Panel to universe 2 with a DMX address of 001. You can repeat this step up to 15 times, each panel being the next ascending number universe (15 universes available in total). 06) If you require more than 15 TPix Panels to be connected set the Net of the 16th TPix Panel to 2. You are now able to connect another 15 Panels. The number of Nets available depends on the software used.

  • Page 11: Dmx Setup

    DMX setup Setting the DMX address: The DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller. Each fixture requires a “start address” from 1- 511. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that occupies or uses 7 channels of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100,101,102,103,104,105 and 106. Choose a start address so that the channels used do not overlap. E.g. the next unit in the chain starts at 107. DMX 512: DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions form the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a data “out” terminal). DMX linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned to a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain. DATA cable (DMX cable) requirements (for DMX operation): This fixture can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set on the back of the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input/output, see image below. Further DMX cables can be purchased from all good sound and lighting suppliers or Pro Light Concepts dealers.
  • Page 12: Line Termination

    DMX setup Notice: Be sure to follow the diagrams below when making your own cables. Do not connect the cables shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLRs outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behaviour. Special note: Line termination: When longer runs of cable are used, Termination reduces signal transmission you may need to use a terminator on problems and interference. It is always advisable to connect a DMX terminal, the last unit to avoid erratic behaviour. (resistance 120 Ohm 1/4 W) between pin 2 Using a cable terminator will decrease (DMX-) and pin 3 (DMX+) of the last fixture. the possibilities of erratic behaviour. (3-pin - Order ref: CABL90, 5-pin - Order ref: CABL89) 5-pin XLR DMX connectors: Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for data transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used. The diagram below details the correct cable conversion.
