  9. DMX Agenda

  10. DMX512 (Digital MultipleX) is a standard for digital communication networks. • It was originally intended as a standardized method for controlling light dimmers, which, prior to DMX512, had employed various incompatible proprietary protocols. What is DMX?

  11. This is where most of the confusion starts. • Many intelligent scanning lights use 4 channels; 1 for the gobo wheel, 1 for the color wheel, 1 for left to right mirror movement and 1 for up and down mirror movement. • So why does the second fixture need to be addressed 13 instead of 5? I can't tell you why they do it, but almost all manufacturers make DMX intelligent lights that OCCUPY more channels than they USE. What is DMX Addressing?

  12. Assumptions: 8 Channel Light (Gobo) , with 10 Channel Light (Led Bar), with 3 Channel Light (Small MoonFlower) Address 1 Gobo: Math: Channel: Address = 0 + 1 = 1 DMX Math

  13. Assumptions: 8 Channel Light (Gobo) , with 10 Channel Light (Led Bar), with 3 Channel Light (Small MoonFlower) Address 1 Gobo: Math: Channel: Address = 0 + 1 = 1 Gobo Address = 1 DMX Math

  14. Assumptions: 8 Channel Light (Gobo) , with 10 Channel Light (Led Bar), with 3 Channel Light (Small MoonFlower) Gobo Fixture Address is 1 Address 2 Led Bar: Math: Channel : Address = 1 (In Use Gobo) + 8 (Available Gobos Channel) First Available Channel: 9 LED Bar Fixture Address is 9 DMX Math

  15. Assumptions: 8 Channel Light (Gobo) , with 10 Channel Light (Led Bar), with 3 Channel Light (Small MoonFlower) Gobo Address = 1 Led Bar Address = 9 Address 3: Moonflower: Math: Channel : Address 1 + 8 + 10 = First Available: 20 DMX Math

  16. Difference Between DMX and XLR Cables? • Reliability • Difference in Impedance and Shielding DMX Cables and Tips and Tricks

  17. Difference Between Hardware Controllers vs. PC Controllers: • HW Controller Much more difficult to program • HW can be more Reliable no 2nd PC Needed Standard DMX Controllers vs. PC Based Controllers
