DMX512 Connection
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other side
to the male 3-pin XLR input of the
VDPL300D
. Multiple
VDPL300D
s can be linked through serial
linking. The linking cable should be a two-core screened cable with XLR input and output connectors.
DMX512 Chain with Termination
A DMX terminator is recommended for installations where the DMX cable has
to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy environment (e.g. discos).
The terminator prevents corruption of the digital control signal by electrical
noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120
Ω
resistor
between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output socket of
the last device in the chain.
Please see illustrations.
DMX512 Start Address
All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the
signals. This start address is the channel number from which the device starts to “listen” to the DMX
controller. Enter the correct number and read it from the display located on the base of the
VDPL300D
.
