The DMX port is typically equipped with a 3-pin XLR connector for easy connection to “entertainment” style DMX packs. The DMX channel provides packets of 512 slots, with a 50mS inter-packet period. The DDMX-512 output will easily drive a standard 120 ohm bus termination. DMX outĭDMX-512 supports a USITT standard DMX512 output protocol.

The I/O channels “float” electrically relative to the USB, thereby minimizing the opportunity for ground loops. To prevent any possible damage to the host computer from badly grounded peripherals, all DDMX-512 outputs and inputs are optically isolated from the host USB bus. If you use a 5-pin DMX dimmer pack, you will need a 5-pin to 3-pin adapter. You must use a cable designed for DMX, not a microphone cable. For LED lights, you must get ones that have DMX input or have a DMX-enabled controller. Make sure that the one you choose can handle the power requirements of your lights. You can find severalĭMX dimmer packs at. For standard incandescent lights, you will need to buy a DMX dimmer/switch pack. The DDMX-512 interfaces Dragonframe to one or more DMX dimmer/switch packs, or directly to DMX-enabled lights. Interact with external devices using the built-in relay switch, digital input and digital output. When paired with one or more DMX dimmer/switch packs, you can control up to 512 different light channels.
