14.4. 3-Pin vs 5-Pin DMX cables
DMX connection protocols used by controllers and fixtures manufacturers are not stan-
dardized around the world. However, two are the most common standards: 5-Pin XLR
and 3-Pin XLR system. If you wish to connect SCENEMAKER 1216 PRO USB to a 5-Pin
XLR input fixture, you need to use an adapter-cable or make it by yourself.
