About the ways to control the projector via DMX
DMX signals can be connected to the DMX In port on the communicator interface when using a standard DMX
cable equipped with XLR connector. The DMX out can be used to create a chain of DMX devices. One
universe can control up to 512 channels.
If you are using a DMX console and other automated lighting products compatible with Art-Net, the Ethernet
network can serve as the link for DMX control. All DMX controls can be sent over the Ethernet cable. Multiple
universes are possible.
