ALCHEMY 7
1 DMX Signal Connection
• The unit operates using the digital USITT DMX512 signal.
• Connection between the light controller and the projector, or between projectors, must be carried out using a
two-pair screened ø 0.5 mm cable, and a XLR 5 or 3 pins connector.
• Ensure that the conductors do not touch each other. Do not connect the ground cable to the XLR chassis.
The housing of the plug must be isolated.
• Connect the light controller to the DMX IN panel connector of the projector; to create a link to the next
projector, simply connect the DMX OUT plug of the former to the DMX IN plug of the new fixture in line.
Following this procedure, all the projectors will be cascade connected.
PS. If the display showing the DMX address flashes, then one of the following errors has occurred:
- DMX signal not present
- DMX reception problem
For installations where long distance DMX cable connections are needed, the use of a DMX terminator is
recommended.
The DMX terminator is a male XLR 3- or 5-pins connector with a 120 Ω resistor between pin 2 and pin 3.
The DMX terminator must be plugged in into the last unit’s DMX OUT panel connector of the DMX line.
Place a 120 Ω resistor between pin 2 and 3 of a male XRL
connector;
Plug the resistor into the DMX OUT panel connector of the last unit
connected to the DMX line.
1.1 DMX Modes
ALCHEMY 7 can be used in five different DMX modes:
•CCT (default mode);
•Advanced;
•Basic;
•Expo;
•CMY Emulation
e.g., when using the unit in “CCT” mode (20/25 DMX channels) (default), set the following addresses on the
light desk:

RDM – DMX – Manual Ver. 1.01 5 di 47
ALCHEMY 7
Projector 1 A001
Projector 2 A045 If you want to select the next projector, just add “44” to the former DMX address
Projector 3 A089
….. A….
projector 6 A221
1.2 Setting Up the DMX Address
1 Press the UP and DOWN key until you reach the desired DMX address. The numbers on the display will
start flashing (new DMX address hasn't yet been set).
2 Press ENTER to confirm your selection. The numbers on the display will stop flashing; the projector is now
set to the new DMX address.
TIP: if you keep pressed down the UP or DOWN keys, address scrolling will be quicker allowing thus for a
faster selection.
2 Art-Net / sACN Signal Connection
ALCHEMY 7 can be controlled through Art-Net / sACN signals.
Connection between the light controller and the projector must be carried out using a category 5 network cable
and a standard RJ45 connector.
2.1 Direct Ethernet Operation
For direct Ethernet operation, connect the light controller’s Art-Net / s-ACN output signal via Ethernet switch to
each unit’s etherCON RJ45 IN connector.
For each unit, scroll to “NETWORK” menu (refer to the paragraph “Display Function” for further details):
•Inside the “INPUT” menu, select “Art-Net” or “sACN” as input control signal.
•Inside the “IP ADDRESS MODE” menu, select “Default” or “Static” mode.
•Inside the “ETH TO DMX” menu, select ON.
•Set the IP address and Net Mask. IP address must be different for each unit on a network.
•Set the Art-Net or sACN Universe.

Universe: 1 Universe: 1 Universe: 1
2.2 Ethernet to RDM/DMX Operation
For Ethernet to RDM/DMX operation, connect the light controller’s Art-Net / s-ACN output signal via Ethernet
switch to the etherCON RJ45 input connector of the first unit only.
In this configuration, the first unit works as an Ethernet-to-DMX converter and sends RDM/DMX signal to its
DMX output connector. All the other units must be connected as a DMX chain with standard DMX settings.
Only for the first unit, scroll until reaching “NETWORK” menu (refer to DISPLAY FUNCTIONS for details):
•Inside the “INPUT” menu, select “Art-Net” or “sACN” as input control signal.
•Inside the “IP ADDRESS MODE” menu, select “Default” or “Static” mode.
•Inside the “ETH TO DMX” menu, select ON.
•Set the IP address and Net Mask. IP address must be different for each unit on a network.
•Set the Art-Net or sACN Universe.
DMX address: 1 DMX address: 45 DMX address: 89
IP address: 002.214.192.007
Universe: 1
DMX address: 1 DMX address: 45 DMX address: 89
IP address: 002.214.192.008
Universe: 2
For installations where long-distance DMX cable connections are needed, the use of a DMX terminator is
recommended.
Please refer to page 4 for further information DMX terminators.
