Matrix Beam LED Set Up

Power Supply: The American DJ Matrix Beam LED contains a auto-

matic voltage switch, which will auto sense the voltage when it is
plugged into the power source. With this switch there is no need to
worry about the correct power voltage, this unit can be plugged in
anywhere.

DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro-

tocol used as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures
and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from
the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent 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” terminal).

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 xtures 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. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address
of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1
to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.

Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX Operation):

The Matrix Beam LED can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The
Matrix Beam LED has 3 DMX channel modes; a 1 Channel Mode, 4
Channel Mode, and 25 Channel Mode. Select and set your DMX Chan­nel Mode and DMX address using the control panel located on the back
panel of the Matrix Beal LED. Your unit and your
DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR con­nector for data input and data output (Figure 1). We
recommend Accu-Cable DMX cables. If you are
making your own cables, be sure to use standard
110-120 Ohm shielded cable (This cable may be
purchased at almost all pro lighting stores). Your
cables should be made with a male and female
XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also remember that DMX

Figure 1

cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

Notice: Be sure to follow gures two and three when making your own

cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not con-

nect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield
conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding

the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.

Special Note: Line Termination.

When longer runs of cable are

used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic
behavior. A terminator is a 90-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is con­nected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and
DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last

unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator

(ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic
behavior.

Termination reduces signal errors and

to connect a DMX terminal, (Resistance

and PIN 3 (DMX +) of the last fixture.
