Building a serial DMX chain
Connect the DMX output of the rst xture in the DMX chain with the DMX input of the next xture. Always connect
one output with the input of the next xture until all xtures are connected. Up to 32 xtures can be connected.
Caution: At the last xture, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ω resistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX output of the last xture.
