All effects in the PAL are fully DMX-512 and Martin RS-485 implemented. Control data is transmitted from the controller's
output, via XLR data link cables, to the data input on the PAL. The data output on the PAL allows the serial data link to be con-
tinued to additional lights, and this way up to 32 fixtures can be connected on the same data link.
