  • Page 16: Dmx Primer

    DMX Primer The DMX protocol (USITT DMX512-A) is a networking protocol that enables a Introduction universal DMX controller device to control the features of multiple DMX compatible fixtures, whether PAR cans, wash lights, moving heads, followspots, foggers, or proprietary fixture controllers, etc. As any other networking protocol, the USITT DMX512-A describes the physical medium, the signals, and the functions they control.
  • Page 17 The DMX fixture configuration consists in determining how many channels DMX Configuration each fixture will need as well as assigning the corresponding DMX channels to each fixture in order to size correctly the DMX controller. Personalities A DMX personality describes what channel or channels control which fixture parameters.
  • Page 18 DMX Data Cabling You must use DMX compliant data cables to link two or more DMX compatible fixtures. You may purchase CHAUVET® certified DMX cables directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. USITT recommends limiting the total length of the DMX cable (from the first fixture/controller to the last fixture) to 300~455 m (985~1,500 ft).
  • Page 19 (DMX Connectivity cont.)  Test all DMX cables with an ohmmeter to verify their correct polarity and to make sure that there are no short-circuits between any of the pins, or between any pin and ground. If the common wire (shield) touched the chassis ground, a ground loop could form, which may cause the fixture to perform erratically.
