DMX Setup
DMX Basics
DMX512 stands for digital multiplex 512. This means that 512 channels are con-
trolled digitally through 1 data cable.
A channel is a set of 255 steps that are assigned to control attributes in each light.
This may be a color like red, green or blue, and intensity, strobe, pan/tilt or other
attributes.
Multiple sets of 512 “universes” may be used. Only 1 universe will travel on a DMX
cable, but through networked DMX (Art-Net or sACN E1.31), many universes can
travel over a network.
DMX Wiring
DMX works by connecting 1 or multiple lights to the output of a DMX lighting
console or software with a DMX interface.
DMX lights connect in what is called a “daisy-chain”. Your first DMX cable will
plug it’s male DMX connector into the female DMX connector on your lighting
console. The remaining female connector will then connect to the DMX input on
your first light.
You may then connect your next fixture to the output of your first light, and con-
tinue the chain.
32 Fixture Rule – DMX only allows you to connect up to 32 fixtures in a single
daisy chain for signal strength. Sometimes, depending on the fixtures and cable
length, this number is less (or more).

DMX Cables can 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 cable should be a 2 conductor, shielded
cable of at least 110 ohms resistance. Microphone cable is not DMX cable.
Please refer to the diagram below:
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an elec-
trically noisy environment, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This
helps in preventing corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise and
reflections. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 Ω resistor con-
nected between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the output XLR socket
of the last fixture in the chain. Please see illustrations below:
DMX Modes and Configuration
The Starburst Par has multiple DMX modes, sometimes called “personalities”, “pro-
files”, or as we will use here “modes”.
In general, modes with more DMX channels offer a greater level of control or op-
tions but take up more of your output channels on your lighting console or soft-
ware.
Modes with less DMX channels often offer less control, but may be plenty for your
needs. Depending on your needs and control solution, you may not need chan-
nels for automated programs, strobes, or macros – your console may have great

effects! In this case, you can use a lesser channel mode and fit more lights per
DMX universe.
View the DMX mode charts below to find the mode that best suits your needs.

3. Maintenance
Troubleshooting Problems
The following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Here
are some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
A. The unit does not work:
•Check that the unit is plugged in to a working power connector.
•Press the menu button to confirm that the unit is powered on. If the screen
does not light up, the unit has no power.
B. Not Responding to the DMX Controller
•Check DMX cables to verify that they are plugged in and functional.
•Check the DMX address and mode – does it match the address and mode
patched in the lighting console or software?
•Plug the light directly into the DMX controller with a cable that you know is
good. Unplug all other lights – does it work?
•Try to use another DMX controller.
