5.5 Signal connections
5.5.1 DMX cabling
The DMX cabling (signal lines) should be done with a 4-pin cable with shielding. We recommend
a DMX cable (110 Ohm, 2x0.22mm
connectors, which can be purchased in specialist shops.
Pin assignment:
Pin1 = Ground/Shielding
Pin2 = DMX -
Pin3 = DMX +
Pin4 = not connected
Pin5 = not connected
The P9 Beamspot has a DMX-in and DMX-out connector. Now connect the DMX output of your
controller to the 1st P9 Beamspot (Controller DMX-Out -> P9 Beamspot DMX-In). Then the 1st
P9 Beamspot with the 2nd P9 Beamspot (P9 Beamspot DMX-Out -> P9 Beamspot DMX-In)
and so on. In some cases it is advisable to insert a so-called end connector (XLR connector
with a 120 Ohm resistor between pin 2 and pin 3). Whether an end connector is required
depends on various factors, including the cable lengths used and the number of devices.
However, as long as no problems occur in the DMX line, this is not necessary.
5.5.2 Ethernet cabling
Ethernet cabling can be done with standard network lines. The sockets on the device are Neutrik
etherCON sockets. Special cables with etherCON connectors are recommended by Neutrik. The
two sockets on the P9 Beamspot are connected to each other via a switch. Up to 10 devices
can be connected in series without any delay. Of course, the spotlights can also be supplied in a
star configuration via an external switch. The received signal can be output via DMX. To do this,
set the DMX OUTPUT CONFIG setting to ON in the PERSONALITY menu. After confirming with
ENTER, the spotlight emits the entire universe received via DMX.
!
ATTENTION: Make sure that there is no signal at the DMX input at the same time !!
5.5.3 Wireless reception
The P9 Beamspot is equipped as standard with a LumenRadio CRMX receiver for wireless DMX.
The receiver can process both DMX and RDM. If a cable and wireless connection are connected
to the P9 Beamspot, the cable connection has priority! The received signal can be output via
DMX. To do this, set the DMX OUTPUT CONFIG setting to ON in the PERSONALITY menu. After
confirming with ENTER, the spotlight emits the entire universe received via DMX.
