    4.5 DMX-512 connection The fixture is equipped with both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output.The sockets are wired in parallel. Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 and 3-pin or 5-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.

  • Page 11: Ethernet Connection

    4.6 Ethernet connection The fixtures on a data link are connected to the Ethernet with ArtNet communication protocol.The control soft- ware running on your PC (or light console) has to support Art-Net protocol. Art-Net communication protocol is a 10 Base T Ethernet protocol based on the TCP/IP.Its purpose is to allow transfer of large amounts of DMX 512 data over a wide area using standard network technology.
  • Page 12 Ethernet / DMX operation Options “Ethernet/DMX” has to be selected from the “Ethernet Mode” menu on the first fixture (connected to the Ethernet) in the fixture chain,next fixtures have standard DMX setting. Connect the Ethernet-input of the first fixture in the data chain with the network. Connect the DMX output of this fixture with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected to the DMX chain.
