nd
device on the data link to 14 (014), as 1 + 13 = 14.
Set the starting address of the 3
rd
device on the data link to 27 (027), as 14 + 13 = 27.
Continue assigning the starting addresses of the remaining devices by adding each time 13 to the
previous number.
Make sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each Galactic RGB-2000
correctly. If two or more devices are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.

DB-25 Connection
Attention
Connect all data cables before supplying power.
Disconnect power supply before connecting or disconnecting data cables.
ILDA
ILDA connection employs the DB-25 connector for parallel signal transmission. It is a low-level transmission
that only modulates the voltage on every pin, usually in a range of 5 V difference (from -2,5 V to +2,5 V or
0–5 V).
DB-25 Connector
The DB-25 is an ILDA-compatible connector used for transmission of laser graphics signals to laser graphics
projectors.
Laser signal sources should use a DB-25 female connector. Laser graphics projectors should use a DB-25
male connector.

DB-25 Linking
Because the ILDA signal is parallel, the computer control signal (serial) needs to be converted to ILDA. In
order to do so, use a digital analogue converter (laser interface) in combination with laser software.
The Galactic RGB-2000 has 2 DB-25 connectors, one input and one throughput. To connect multiple
devices with the DB-25 connectors, follow the steps below:
Connect the laser interface to the computer.
Use an ILDA-compatible DB-25 cable to connect the laser interface to the DB-25 input connector of
the first device.
Use an ILDA-compatible DB-25 cable to connect the DB-25 throughput connector of the first device
to the DB-25 input connector of the second device.
Repeat step 3 to connect all devices as shown in Fig. 15.
