DMX Setup
DMX Basics
DMX512 stands for digital multiplex 512. This means that 512 hannels are ontrolled
digitally through 1 data able.
A hannel is a set of 255 steps that are assigned to ontrol attributes in ea h light. This
may be a olor like red, green or blue, and intensity, strobe, pan/tilt or other attributes.
Arion 300 IP Page 9 of 18

Multiple sets of 512 “universes” may be used. Only 1 universe will travel on a DMX able,
but through networked DMX (Art-Net or sACN E1.31), many universes an travel over a
network.
DMX Wiring
DMX works by onne ting 1 or multiple lights to the output of a DMX lighting onsole or
software with a DMX interfa e.
DMX lights onne t in what is alled a “daisy- hain”. Your first DMX able will plug it’s
male DMX onne tor into the female DMX onne tor on your lighting onsole. The
remaining female onne tor will then onne t to the DMX input on your first light.
You may then onne t your next fixture to the output of your first light, and ontinue the
hain.
32 Fixture Rule – DMX only allows you to onne t up to 32 fixtures in a single daisy
hain for signal strength. Sometimes, depending on the fixtures and able length, this
number is less (or more).
DMX Cables an be 3-pin or 5-pin. These use the same type of data, and in the 5-pin
only pins 1, 2, and 3 are used. The able should be a 2 ondu tor, shielded able of at
least 110 ohms resistan e. Mi rophone able is not DMX able.
Please refer to the diagram below:
For installations where the DMX able has to run a long distan e or is in an ele tri ally
noisy environment, it is re ommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps in preventing
