A
assigned to address 1 to
that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain. Dip-switches in DMX mode:
This unit uses dip switches to assign a
DMX address. Each dip switch represents a binary value. Dip Switch 1 address equals 1 Dip Switch 2 address equals 2 Dip Switch 3 address equals 4 Dip Switch 4 address equals 8 Dip Switch 5 address equals 16 Dip Switch 6 address equals 32 Dip Switch 7 address equals 64 Dip Switch 8 address equals 128 Dip Switch 9 address equals 256 Each dip switch has a preset value.
A
specific DMX address is set by
combining the dip switches that sum your desired value. For example: To
achieve a DMX address of 21, combine dip switches 1, 3, and 5. Sense dip switch 1 has a value of 1, dip switch 3 has a value of 4, and dip switch 5 has a value of 16, the combination of the create a DMX value of 21. Set DMX address 21:
Set DMX address 201:
Dip-switches # 1 = 1
Dip-switches # 1 = 1
3
= 4
4 = 8
5
= 16
7 = 64
= 21
8 = 128 = 201
Data Cable Requirements (For DMX and Master/Slave Opera- tion):
The VER
TI PRO II™ can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol.
The DMX address is set using the dip-switches on the rear panel of the VER
TI PRO II™.

our unit excepts 3-pin XLR connector for data input
and data output (Figure 5). When using a DMX controller with 5-Pin XLR output jacks or when linking from a DMX fi

jack to the VER

DMX-512:
DMX
is
short
for
Digital
Multiplex.
This
is
a
universal
protocol used as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers.
A
DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from
the
controller
to
the
fixture.
DMX
data
is
sent
as
serial
data
that
travels from fi
xture to fi
xture via the DA
T
A
“IN” and DA
T
A
“OUT” XLR
terminals
located
on
all
DMX
fi
xtures
(most
controllers
only
have
a
DA
T
A
“OUT”
terminal).
DMX Linking:
DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of
dif
ferent manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single controller
, as long as all fi
xtures and the controller are DMX compliant.
To
ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible.
The order in which
fixtures
are
connected
in
a
DMX
line
does
not
influence
the
DMX
addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1 may
