4.2 Operation with a DMX controller

For operation via a DMX light controller (e. g. DMX-
1440 or DMX-510USB from "img Stage Line"), the
BEAM-8 / WS is equipped with 14 DMX control
channels. The BEAM-8 / WS can also be controlled
via 5 channels if the functions provided by the
5-channel mode suffice or if less than 14 channels
are available at the light controller.
DMX stands for Digital Multiplex and means dig-
ital control of multiple DMX units via a common
control line. The functions of the channels and the
corresponding DMX values can be found in chapter
4.2.3.
4.2.1 Connection
For DMX connection, 3-pole XLR connections with
the following pin configuration are available:
pin 1 = ground, 2 = DMX-, 3 = DMX+
For the connection, special cables for DMX signal
transmission (e. g. cables of the CDMXN series
from "img Stage Line") should be used. For cable
lengths exceeding 150 m, the insertion of a DMX
level matching amplifier (e. g. SR-103DMX from
"img Stage Line") is recommended.
1) Connect the input DMX IN to the DMX output of
the light controller or of another DMX-controlled
unit.
2) Connect the output DMX OUT to the DMX input
of the next DMX unit. Connect the output of the
latter DMX unit to the input of the following unit,
etc. until all DMX-controlled units are connected
in a chain.
3) To prevent interference in signal transmission:
For long cables or for a great number of units
connected in series, terminate the DMX output
of the last DMX unit in the chain with a 120 Ω
resistor (> 0.3 W): Connect an appropriate ter-
minating plug (e.g. DLT-123 from "img Stage
Line") to the DMX output jack.
