When hard-wiring a number of console input receptacles to a
dimming or distribution system, the usual practice would be to
daisy chain them to the dimmer rack or opto-splitter. While this
method often works with no apparent problems, this practice is
expressly forbidden by DMX rules. The problem has been that
there is no realistic ‘legal’ alternative. The DMX Repeater Pro
remedies this.
Up to 9 DMX input receptacles can be directly connected (home
run) to the DMX Repeater Pro when it is in Hub Mode. The
drawing below shows the hub mode configuration.
Because RDM-enabled ports can be both DMX inputs and
outputs, the DMX Repeater Pro is capable of selecting any of the
9 ports on the unit as the splitter's primary DMX input. When in
Hub Mode and DMX is not present on any port, the DMX
Repeater Pro
scans each port, listening for DMX. Each port is
made an input for about 1 second, while the other ports are
disabled.
Once the DMX Repeater Pro discovers a valid DMX signal on a
given port, all other ports on the unit are automatically configured
as output ports and the DMX data is actively repeated to them.
When DMX data is removed (e.g. if the console is turned off or
unplugged) the DMX Repeater Pro will begin the scanning
process again.
