  • Page 28: Configuring The Device For Dmx Control

    CONFIGURING THE DEVICE FOR DMX CONTROL ABOUT DMX The fixture can be controlled using signals sent by a DMX controller on a number of DMX channels. DMX is the USITT DMX512-A standard, based on the RS-485 standard. The signal is sent as DMX data from a console (or a controller) to the fixtures via a shielded twisted pair cable designed for RS-485 devices.
