PERATING
This is DMX splitter, and it is designed to distribute/boost the incoming DMX signal into 4 separate outputs. Each of the 4
outputs is electronically isolated from the others (with the exception of the "thru" or "link" output) and each output has 3 &
5 pin XLR sockets.
Be sure to adhere to any and all DMX standards and practices when using this
device.

DMX Primer

There are 512 channels in a DMX-512 connection. Channels may be assigned in any manner. A fixture capable of
receiving DMX 512 will require one or a number of sequential channels. The user must assign a starting address on the
fixture that indicates the first channel reserved in the controller. There are many different types of DMX controllable
fixtures and they all may vary in the total number of channels required. Choosing a start address should be planned in
advance. Channels should never overlap. If they do, this will result in erratic operation of the fixtures whose starting
address is set incorrectly. You can however, control multiple fixtures of the same type using the same starting address as
long as the intended result is that of unison movement or operation. In other words, the fixtures will be slaved together
and all respond exactly the same.
DMX fixtures are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy Chain connection is where the DATA
OUT of one fixture connects to the DATA IN of the next fixture. The order in which the fixtures are connected is not
important and has no effect on how a controller communicates to each fixture. Use an order that provides for the easiest
and most direct cabling. Connect fixtures using shielded two conductor twisted pair cable with three pin XLR male to
female connectors. The shield connection is pin 1, while pin 2 is Data Negative (S-) and pin 3 is Data positive (S+).
CHAUVET carries 3-pin XLR DMX compliant cables, DMX-10 (33'), DMX-4.5 (15') and DMX-1.5 (5')
