Dmx Cable; Using The Menu - Varytec ARC One Bedienungsanleitung

9.3.1. DMX Cable

Cables must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other end.
A word on termination: DMX is a resilient communication protocol, however errors still occasionally
occur. Termination reduces signal errors, and therefore best practices include the usage of a
terminator in all circumstances. If you are experiencing problems with erratic fixture behavior,
especially over long signal cable runs, a terminator may help to improve the performance.
To build your own DMX Terminator: Obtain a 120-ohm, 1/4-watt resistor, and wire it between pins 2&3
of the last fixture. They are also readily available from specialty retailers.
The DMX Restriction says that you are not allowed to daisy chain more than 32 units and that you are
not allowed to use more than 100m cable in between. If you need more cable or more unites to
control, we recommend the use of a DMX booster or a multiconnector.
