Colour Storm Quad DMX Set up

DMX-512:

• DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between

intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions form the

controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via the

DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only

have a data “out” terminal).

DMX Linking:

• DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together

and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant.

To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX fixtures try to use the

shortest cable path possible. The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not

influence the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned to a DMX address of 1 may be

placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a

fixture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to

address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.

DATA Cable (DMX cable) requirements (for DMX operation):

• The Colour Storm Quad can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set on

the back of the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector

for data input/output (figure 1).

Figure 1

Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

Further DMX cables can be purchased

from all good sound and lighting suppliers

or Prolight dealers.
