2.3.2 DMX-512

3-Pin XLR Input/Output. [+] = Pin 3 / [-] = Pin 2 / [Ground] = Pin 1
DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol
used by most lighting and controller manufactures
communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller
sends DMX data instructions from the controller to the fixture. DMX data i s
sent out as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via the DATA "IN" and
DATA "OUT" XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only
have a DATA "OUT" terminals). DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all
makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together and
operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are
DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using
several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order in
which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the DMX
addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1 may be
placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in
the middle. Therefore, the first fixture controlled by the controller could be the
last fixture in the chain. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the
DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that fixture, no
matter where it is located in the DMX chain.
2.4 Data C able (DMX C able) Requirements (For DMX and Master/Slave
Operation): The POWER SPOT 575IE™ can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol.
The POWER SPOT 575IE™ is a 16 channel DMX fixture. The DMX address is set
electronically using the controls on the side panel of the fixture. Your fixture and your
DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input and data output
(Figure Below). If you are making your own cables, be sure to use standard two
