The Nexus™ Aw 7x7 works in Master/Slave mode or with a DMX
controller using its DMX ports
. A DMX Primer is available from
www.chauvetprofessional.com.
The Nexus™ Aw 7x7 has 5 DMX personalities: 5, 8, 49, 54, and 57

Ethernet connections link Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels to routers and each
other through their Neutrik®
etherCON® ports. Ethernet connections are
for running TCP/IP-protocol-based control system, such as Kling-
etherCON® ports can be either input or output,
and panels can be lin ked to each oth er, but the st art of each chai n of panels
must be a router port.

Kling-Net is a network protocol that uses TCP/IP to send DMX over
a network and into the Neutrik® etherCON® connection ports of
the Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels. Kling-
Net works seamlessly with
Kling-Net-supported ArKaos software fo
r configuring and mapping display
devices. For more information, see the User Manual on the Chauvet
website at http://www.chauvetlighting.com/product-manuals-literature/.
Art-Net™ is an Ethernet protocol that uses TCP/IP to send DMX
signals over a network and into the Neutrik®
ports of the Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels. Art-
Net™ requires configuration
through the control panel. For more information, see the Menu Map
this QRG or the User Manual on the Chauvet website.

Nexus™ Aw 7x7 panels are rigged using the CHAUVET® Affinity™ Rig
Kit, or the CHAUVET® CLP-
15 clamp, both of which are sold separately.
The Rig Kit can bear the weight of 16 panels, in 1 column of 16, or 2
columns of 8. The rig kit has 3 holes for M12 compatible bolts a
nd works
with most standard truss clamps. The mounting clamp can bear the weight
of 4 panels hung in a single column. The mounting clamp has one hole for
M12 compatible bolts and fits most standard truss.
The coffin locks on the top and bottom of the Nexus™ Aw 7x7
connect the tops and bottoms, and bear the weight, of the panels. The bolt-
locking connectors on the sides connect the panels and align the pixels into
rows. They cannot bear the weight of the panels.
• When usi ng only the integr ated br a cket, do no t link more than 4
panels in one col umn.
• The bolt-locking hardware on the sides of the Nexus™ Aw 7x7
panels is not load bearing. Do not hang the panels s ideways.
