DMX Termination

DMX Termination with 110 Ohms Resistor

“Open ends” of DMX lines must be terminated. The 3-pin terminating plugs contain a 110Ω, 1/2W, resistor across pins 2 & 3.  and the 5-pin terminating plugs contain two 110Ω, 1/2W,  one resistor across pins 2 & 3, another resistor across pin 4 & 5.  The DMX terminator used on the last lighting fixture to terminate the DMX 512 signal and help prevent signal reflections and data errors. It can stops your DMX signal from bouncing back down the chain and getting messy.

DMX Adapter

DMX connectors with 3 pins and 5 pins must be connected by an adapter or adapter cable. such as 5-pin xlr male to 3-pin xlr female DMX lighting adapter、5 Pin DMX female to 3 Pin XLR male DMX Lighting Adapter and DMX adapter cables.

It is suitable for carrying the DMX512 digital data protocol, commonly used for stage lighting and effects equipment such as digital light controllers, consoles, dimmers, lasers and fog machines.

XLR Male to RJ45 DMX Adapter

This RJ45 to DMX adapter is designed for DMX lighting environments. It features a DMX 3-pin or 5-pin connector on one end and a RJ45 connector on the other end. Adapts any 3 pin DMX to RJ45.

The diagram below shows how to wire an ESTA standard DMX RJ45 plug to a LOR RJ45 plug.

DMX Test Connector

A DMX test connector can be build with two resistors 270 Ohms and two standard LEDs. The test connector must be a MALE connector.

About XLR Pinout (3-Pin, 5-Pin & 7-Pin)

图片
  About XLR Pinout (3-Pin, 5-Pin & 7-Pin) XLR connectors are used in audio (mic level & line level) and DMX lighting control (DMX) applications.                              3-Pin XLR and 7-Pin XLR Audio Pinout The following is the AES industry standard for balanced audio XLR wiring, commonly known as “pin-2 hot”. 3-Pin XLR connectors are standard amongst line level and mic level audio applications . The above diagram shows you the pin numbering for both Male and Female XLR connectors. 3-pin XLR Pinout: Pin1 = Shielding (Ground) Pin2 = Hot (Positive), + Pin3 = Cold (Negative), – 7-pin XLR Pinout: Pin1 = B+ Pin2 = Pattern Pin3 = 6 Volts Pin4 = Gnd Pin5 = Out Pin6 = Out Pin7 = Gnd                     3-Pin XLR and 5-Pin XLR DMX Lighting Pinout The ESTA standard known as Entertainment Technology USITT DMX512-A – Asynchronous Serial Digital...

What is 5 pin DIN connector?

图片
  What is 5 pin DIN connector? A DIN connector is an electrical connector that was originally standardized in the early 1970s by the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), the German national standards organization. A DIN connector encompasses several types of cables that plug into an interface to connect devices. It has an architecture that is composed of multiple pins that are within a protective circular sheath. Typically, a full-sized DIN connector has three to 14 pins with a diameter of 13.2 millimeters. In computer electronics, the DIN connector is referred to as a circular connector that is DIN standardized and used for digital interfaces like the musical instrument digital interface (MIDI), the IBM AT computer keyboard or mouse, and in analog video architectures. Original DIN standards for older connectors are no longer in print and have been supplanted with the corresponding international standard IEC 60130-9. There are seven familiar patterns with three to e...

How to choose the right speaker wire/cable?

  How to choose the right speaker wire/cable? The purpose of Speaker cable is the wire used for the electrical connections between amplifier sources and loundspeakers system.The transfer is accomplished through the low-voltage electrical current conducted through the wires.It has three key electrical properties: resistance, capacitance and inductance. Resistance is by far the most important property to look at. Today most loudspeaker systems have an impedance between 4 ohm and 8 ohm. As the resistance rises it starts to affect the system performance. Obviously there can be a reduction in the drive current to the loudspeaker as the voltage across the cable increases. The other issue is that the back EMF created by the loudspeaker needs to have a low impedance source against which to work. As the source impedance rises, so the back EMF is absorbed less. This affects the performance of the loudspeaker, particularly in the bass region where the bass may not be as pronoun...
