Operations:

There are three operating modes to choose from;

1, Auto run 2, Sound Active 3, DMX

NOTE: Before use, please insert the supplied SD card and follow the instructions below.

Auto run mode

To set the Matrix cloth in auto run mode, set all dip switches to the off position and use the

“SENSITIVITY/SPEED” control to set the desired running speed. The Matrix cloth will now run

through all of its in-built programmes.

Sound active mode

To set the Matrix cloth into sound active mode, set dip switch “10” to the ON position and all

others to the OFF position. Now use the “SENSITIVITY/SPEED” control to set the desired

sensitivity level.

DMX mode

DMX Control Mode

Operating in a DMX control mode environment gives the user the greatest flexibility when it comes

to customising or creating a show. In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of

the cloth and each cloth independently. The Matrix Cloths uses 2 channels of control.

Use dip switches 1 – 9 to address each cloth accordingly.

Setting the DMX address

The DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller. Each cloth requires a “start

address” from 1- 511. A cloth requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on

the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a cloth that occupies or uses 7

channels of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from

channels: 100,101,102,103,104,105 and 106. Choose a start address so that the channels used

do not overlap. E.g. the next unit in the chain starts at 107.

DMX Control Mode

Operating in a DMX control mode environment gives the user the greatest flexibility when it comes

to customising or creating a show. In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of

the fixture and each fixture independently.

Setting the DMX address

The DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller. Each fixture requires a

“start address” from 1- 511. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the

data on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that occupies or uses 7

channels of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from

channels: 100,101,102,103,104,105 and 106. Choose a start address so that the channels used

do not overlap. E.g. the next unit in the chain starts at 107.

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 LEDJ Matrix cloths 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.

Notice:

• Be sure to follow figures 2 & 3 when making your own cables. Do not connect the cable’s shield

conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer

casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behaviour.

Special Note: Line termination:

• When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to

avoid erratic behaviour.

Using a cable terminator (part number CABL90) will decrease the possibilities of erratic

behaviour.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors:

• Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for data transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-Pin

XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin

XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used. The Chart below details the

correct cable conversion.

Termination reduces signal transmission problems

and interferance. it is always advisable to connect a

DMX terminal, (resistance 120 Ohm 1/4 W) between

pin 2 (DMX-) and pin 3 (DMX+) of the last fixture.
