The USITT DMX512-A data transmission protocol (DMX, from now on) is based on the  
EIA-485 standard and it has 512 channels (001 to 512). This system requires a  
controller (DMX controller), one or more DMX compatible products, and a DMX circuit  
(also known as “DMX universe”) to link the products to the controller.  
DMX Primer  
Depending on their complexity and features, DMX compatible products may require  
from one to more than 30 DMX channels to operate. Some DMX products have  
multiple operation modes (also known as “personalities”), each with its own number of  
channels and controllable parameters.  
In the DMX system, the controller sends DMX data to each product based on the  
product’s starting address. The starting address is the number of the DMX channel  
(001 to 512) assigned to the product’s first control channel (Channel 1). When  
assigning starting addresses to multiple products, it is critical to ensure that no starting  
address is already in use by another product to prevent channels from overlapping.  
Otherwise, the affected products may operate erratically.  
Starting  
Address  
For instance, a user has two DMX compatible products. Product “A” has four channels  
and product “B” has six channels. If the user configures the starting address of product  
“A” to “001”, channels 001 through 004 on the DMX controller will control product “A”.  
This means that the user should assign the starting address of product “B” to “005” or  
higher. For a starting address of “005”, the DMX controller would use channels 005 to  
010 to control product “B”.  
It is possible to control multiple products of the same type by assigning each one of  
them the same starting address. In this case, all the products would respond in unison  
(synchronized) to the signals from the DMX controller.  
DMX compatible products receive the control signals  
Product  
Linking (Daisy  
Chain)  
DMX  
from the DMX controller through the DMX cables.  
Controller  
Each product has a DMX In and a DMX Out  
connector. The figure to the right illustrates how the  
products link to each other using multiple segments  
of DMX cable in a sequential format called “daisy  
1st DMX  
Product  
chain”.  
The order in which the products connect to the DMX  
controller is irrelevant because all products receive  
the same DMX signals and they only respond to  
2nd DMX  
Product  
them based on their individual starting addresses.  
However, it is important to notice that the  
connections between products should always be as  
short and direct as possible.  
To other  
products  
To ensure the integrity of the DMX signal, follow the  
recommendations of the EIA-485 standard:  
The maximum recommended cable length is 500 m (1,640 feet).  
The maximum recommended number of products on the same daisy chain is 32.  
Connecting more than 32 products on one daisy chain without the use of a DMX  
optically-isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.

The DMX protocol requires using special data cables to accommodate for the high  
speed digital signals it uses. Despite their apparent similarities, data cables are  
electrically different from standard microphone cables because they can carry high  
frequency digital signals and have better protection against electromagnetic  
interference. You can purchase CHAUVET® certified DMX cables directly from a  
dealer/distributor or make your own DMX cable.  
DMX Cabling  
If you choose to make your own DMX cable, you must use a data-grade cable such as  
the Belden 9841, which has the following electrical characteristics:  
Type:  
shielded, 2-conductor twisted pair  
30 pF/ft  
55 pF/ft  
20 ohms/1000 ft

Each DMX cable must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR  
connector on the other end. The DMX protocol indicates that the XLR connectors must  
have five pins. However, most lighting products use the 3-pin XLR connector. The pin  
assignment of the 3-pin and 5-pin XLR connectors in a DMX cable is as follows:

You can use the above table to create a 3-pin/3-pin cable, a 5-pin/5-pin cable, or a 3-  
pin to 5-pin adapter.  
The DMX daisy chain uses a terminator to reduce signal transmission problems,  
especially with long cables. The terminator consists of either a 3-pin or 5-pin XLR male  
plug with a 120 , ¼ W resistor connected to the wire side of pins 2 and 3, as shown  
below.  
The terminator plug connects to the DMX Out socket of the last DMX product in the  
daisy chain.  
Do not allow the common wire of the DMX cable to touch the product’s chassis  
ground. This could cause a ground loop, which may affect your products’  
performance. Test all DMX cables with an ohmmeter to verify the correct polarity  
of the wires, and to make sure that they are not touching the shield or each  
other.
