3.5 DMX-512 Output Terminal Strip

A tremendous amount of expansion is possible using DMX-512 which is a professional
standard for Digital Control of AC Dimmers. We have leveraged the popularity of this
standard to your advantage. Many products for the DJ industry are available including
Dimmer Packs, LED "PAR" Cans, etc. The Professional Connector is a 5-pin XLR style
connector.

In the Semi-Professional market, a 3-pin XLR style connector has been made universally
standard. This makes the cables to connect DMX-512 signals a simple XLR microphone
cable. Microphone cables are easy to find and easy to obtain the connectors for. With this
in mind, we made our DMX-512 connections using a 3-position terminal strip, matching
the pinout for the 3-pin XLR connector.

3.6 Trigger Input Terminal Strip

Local push-buttons can be wired to the Layout Lighting Solution enabling direct
connection of external event sources. A typical application for this would be a master
control push button panel. This section describes the electrical connections for the
Trigger Inputs. To program the trigger inputs to cause actions within sequences and steps,
see the section on Programming.
