Page 28: Appendix
Appendix 6. Appendix DMX Primer The DMX protocol (USITT DMX512-A) is a networking protocol that enables a universal DMX controller device to control the features of multiple DMX compatible fixtures, whether par cans, wash lights, moving heads, followspots, foggers, proprietary fixture controllers, etc. -
Page 29: Dmx Configuration
You must use DMX compliant data cables to link two or more DMX compatible fixtures. Cabling 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). -

Controlle Other DMX Compatible First Third Second Fixtures Generic Cable Cable Cable DMX Data Connection Diagram DMX Fixture DMX Fixture Master/Slave The Master/Slave mode allows one fixture (the master) to run a preconfigured program to control several other fixtures of the same model (the slaves) without requiring a DMX Linking controller. - Page 32 Appendix ID Addressing ID Addressing is a sub-addressing method by which each fixture, apart from its starting address, can also have an “ID” address in the 1~66 range. This allows users to multiply the number of fixtures they can control with a single DMX controller. Many fixtures have at least one DMX personality or mode that enables ID addressing.
