Stand-alone Setup

When the Galactic RGB-2000 is not connected to a controller or to other devices, it functions as a stand­alone device. It can be operated manually with the control panel.

DMX Connection

DMX-512 Protocol

You need a DMX serial data link to run light shows of one or more devices using a DMX-512 controller or to run synchronized shows of two or more devices set in a master/slave operating mode.
The Galactic RGB-2000 has 3-pin DMX signal IN and OUT connectors.
The pin assignment is as follows:
3-pin: pin 1 (ground), pin 2 (-), pin 3 (+)
Devices on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in a single line. The number of devices that you can control on one data link is limited by the combined number of the DMX channels of the connected devices and the 512 channels available in one DMX universe.
To comply with the TIA-485 standard, no more than 32 devices should be connected on one data link. In order to connect more than 32 devices on one data link, you must use a DMX optically isolated splitter/booster, otherwise this may result in deterioration of the DMX signal.
Note:
Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 300 m
Attention Connect all data cables before supplying power. Disconnect power supply before connecting or disconnecting data cables.
Page 20
19
Galactic RGB-2000 Product code: 51346
Maximum recommended number of devices on a DMX data link: 32 devices

DMX Cables

Shielded twisted-pair cables with 3-pin XLR connectors must be used for reliable DMX connection. You can purchase DMX cables directly from your Highlite International dealer or make your own cables.
If you use XLR audio cables for DMX data transmission, this may lead to signal degradation and unreliable operation of the DMX network.
When you make your own DMX cables, make sure that you connect the pins and wires correctly as shown in Fig. 11.
Fig. 11

Master/Slave Setup

The Galactic RGB-2000 supports master/slave control mode. To connect multiple devices in a master/slave setup, follow the steps below:
Connect the first device’s DMX OUT connector to the second device’s DMX IN connector with a
3-pin DMX cable.
Repeat step 1 to connect all devices as shown in Fig. 12. Insert the included SD card into the SD slot (13) on each connected device. Connect a DMX terminator (120 Ω resistor) to the DMX OUT connector of the last device in the setup. Set the first device on the data link as a master device. Set the remaining devices as slave devices. See 6.6.4. Master/Slave Mode on page 29 for more
information.
Fig. 12
Page 21

Galactic RGB-2000 Product code: 51346

DMX Linking

To connect multiple devices on one DMX data link, follow the steps below:
Use a 3-pin DMX cable to connect the DMX OUT connector of the lighting controller to the DMX IN
connector of the first device.
Connect the first device’s DMX OUT connector to the second device’s DMX IN connector with a
3-pin DMX cable.
Repeat step 2 to connect all devices in a daisy-chain as shown in Fig. 13. Insert the included SD card into the SD slot (13) on each connected device. Connect a DMX terminator (120 Ω resistor) to the DMX OUT connector of the last device on the data
link.
Fig. 13

DMX Addressing

In a setup with multiple devices, make sure that you set the DMX starting address of each device correctly. The Galactic RGB-2000 has 2 personalities: 1 channel and 13 channels.
If you want to connect multiple devices on one data link, follow the steps below:
Set the starting address of the 1
st
device on the data link to 1 (001).
Set the starting address of the 2
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 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.
