DMX Linking connects Nexus™ 4x1 panels through their DMX input and output ports. The
Nexus™ 4x1 has both 3- and 5-pin DMX ports, so either 3- or 5-pin cables, or a combination
of both, can be used. DMX Linking is for DMX control and for Master/Slave control.
In DMX mode, Nexus™ 4x1 panels are controlled by a DMX controller, and the DMX address
and DMX personality must be set through the control panel.
The Nexus™ 4x1 automatically senses its control source. When there is a DMX cable plugged
in, the Nexus™ 4x1 expects DMX control. When there is an etherCON® cable plug in, it
expects an IP protocol, such as Art-Net™ or Kling-Net.
The Nexus™ 4x1 has 5 DMX personalities, each with different capabilities. The table below
lists the capabilities of each personality. For more information, see
