However, it is important to notice that the

2nd DMX

The USITT DMX512-A data transmission protocol (DMX, from now on) is based on
the EIA-485 standard and it has 512 channels (001 to 512). Thi s sy stem requi res a
controller (DMX controller), one or more DMX compatible fixtures, and a DMX circuit
(also known as “DMX universe”) to link the fixtures to the controller.

Depending on their complexity and features, DMX compatible fixtures may require
from one to more than 30 DMX channels to operate. Some DMX fixtures have
multiple operation modes (also known as “personalities”), each with its own number
of channels and cont rollable parameters.

In the DMX system, the controller sends DMX data to each fixture based on the
fixture’s starting address. The starting address is the number of the DMX channel
(001 to 512) assigned to the fixture’s first control channel (Channel 1). When
assigning starting addresses to multiple fixtures, it is critical to ensur e that no st arting
address is already in use by anot her fixture to prevent channels from overlapping.
Otherwise, the a ffected fixtures ma y opera te errat ical ly.

For instance, a user has two DMX compatible fixtures. Fixt ure “A ” has four channels
and f ixt ur e “B ” has six channels. If the user configures the starting addr ess of fixture
“A” to “001”, channels 001 through 004 on the DMX controller will control fixture “A”.
This means that the us er should assign the starting address of fixture “B” to “ 005” or
higher. For a starting address of “005”, the DMX controller would use channels 005 to
010 to control fixture “B”.

It is poss ible t o contr ol mult ipl e fixtu res of the sam e type b y assi gnin g each o ne of
them t he s ame star t i ng address. In this case, all the fixtures would respond in unison
(synchr onized) to the signals from t he DMX controller.

chain”.
The order in which the fixtures connect to the DMX

controller is irrelevant because all fixtures receive
them based on their individual starting addresses.
connections between fixtures should always be as

short and di rect as possible.
To ensure the integrity of the DMX signal, follow the

recommendations of the EIA-485 standar d:

• The maximum recommended cable length is 500 m (1,640 fee t).

• The maximum recommended numb er of fixtures on the same daisy chain is 32.

Connecting more than 32 fixtures on one daisy ch ai n without the use of a DMX
optically-isolated splitter m ay result in deterioration of the digital DM X signal.

The DMX protocol requires using special data cables to accom modate for the high
speed digital signals it uses. Despite their apparent similarities, data cables are
electrically different from standard microphone cabl es because they can carry high
frequency digital signals and have better protection against electromagnetic
interference. You can purchase CHAUVET® certified DMX cables directly from a
dealer/distr ibutor or make your own DMX cable.

If you choose to make your own DMX cable, you must use a data-grade cable such
as the Belden 9841, which has the following electr ical c haracterist ics:

You can use the above table to create a 3-pin/3-pin cable, a 5-pin/5-pin cable, or a 3­pin to 5-pin adapter.

Do not allow the common wire of the DMX cable to touch the fixture’s chassis
ground. This could cause a ground loop, which may affect your fixtures’
performance. Test all DMX cables with an ohmmeter to verify the correct
polarity of t he wires, and to make sure that they are not touching the shield or
each other.
