DMX Control
The Cyberlight LED fixture operates on standard DMX-512 control bus, controlled by a DMX
console. The fixture requires 40 channels of DMX-512.
Attach the fixture to the control bus using a two-core, shielded cable with a 5-pin XLR
connector (Belden 9729 is preferred).
The fixture includes two 5-pin XLR connectors, one for DMX Input and one for DMX Thru (for
use when daisy-chaining fixtures on the DMX control bus).
DMX Connector Pinout
Use the following standard pinout when preparing DMX cable with 5-pin XLR connectors. ETC
recommends using Belden 9729 or equivalent cable. (See the ETC cable cross database for
equivalent alternatives: etcconnect.com/Support/Cable-Cross-Database.aspx.) The second
data pair in the recommended cable type is not used, but is reserved future service.
