Warnings and Precautions
DANGER
Electric shock caused by short-circuit
Attention
Connect all data cables before supplying power.
Disconnect power supply before connecting or disconnecting data cables.
Stand-alone Setup
When the Shark - The Meg - Beam One is not connected to a controller or to other devices, it functions as
a stand-alone device.
For more information about the control modes, refer to 6.2. Control Modes on page 19.
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 control mode.
The Shark - The Meg - Beam One 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
● Maximum recommended number of devices on a DMX data link: 32 devices
Page 19

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 3-pin 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. 10.
Fig. 10
Master/Slave Setup
The Shark - The Meg - Beam One 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. The first connected device in the setup will be automatically recognized as the
master device.
Repeat step 1 to connect all devices as shown in Fig. 11.
Set all subsequent devices in the setup as slave devices. See 6.6.1. DMX Functions on page 27 for
more information.
