About the ways to control the projector via DMX
DMX signals can be connected to the DMX In port on the communicator interface when using a standard DMX
cable equipped with XLR connector. The DMX out can be used to create a chain of DMX devices. One
universe can control up to 512 channels.
If you are using a DMX console and other automated lighting products compatible with Art-Net, the Ethernet
network can serve as the link for DMX control. All DMX controls can be sent over the Ethernet cable. Multiple
universes are possible.
About the DMX menu
DMX Feature What can be done?
DMX Address
(Start
Channel)
Before a projector can execute DMX commands, a unique address (named “Start Channel”)
should be given to the projector.
This address can vary from 1 to 512.
DMX Mode Two different modes for DMX are available.
• Basic: A basic configuration where 2 channels are implemented.
• Extended: A full configuration, spread over 14 channels.
DMX Monitor If a DMX device is connected, the settings per channel can be displayed via the Monitor
button.
Art-Net DMX DMX can be sent via the Ethernet connector to the projector instead of the classic DMX
connector. This function can be enabled or disabled. Art-Net is generally used when more
than 512 addresses are used in your setup.
DMX
Universe
Note: DMX Universe can only be used when Art-Net DMX is enabled.
If Art-Net is enabled, you can specify to which DMX universe this projector belongs to.
DMX Power
Down
The projector can be forced to shut down after a certain time-out period (in minutes) if no
DMX signals are available.
For full mapping of each used channel, refer to the DMX chart in the appendices, see User guide.
