DMX interface

DMX is used as communication bus between different devices in the light technic. Each device has an input and an output, so that the bus can be looped between the different devices. According the standard a five wire cable with XLR connector is used.

You can use the DMX input port to connect a DMX device (DMX console) to the projector. This way you can control the projector from that DMX device (console). The DMX output port can be connected with the next device in the loop.
