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 spotlight is equipped with three DMX
control channels . DMX stands for Digital Multi-
plex and means digital control of multiple DMX
units via a common control cable . The functions
of the channels and the DMX values can be found
in chapter 4 .2 .3 (fig . 6) .

4.2.1 Connection
For DMX signal transmission, special cables should
be used (e . g . CDMXN-... from IMG STAGELINE) .
For cable lengths exceeding 150 m or for control
of more than 32 units via a single DMX output, it
is generally recommended to insert a DMX level
matching amplifier (e . g . SR-103DMX) .
1) Connect the input DMX IN to the DMX output
of the light controller or to the DMX output of
another DMX-controlled unit .
For the spotlight ODC-100 / WS, connect
the plug (C) of the cable DMX IN to the inline
jack (D) of the supplied cable equipped with
an XLR plug . Then fasten the nut to secure
this connection .

Use an extension cable to connect the XLR plug
to the DMX output of the light controller or, if
additional DMX-controlled units are used, to
the DMX output of the last DMX-controlled
), press unit .
2) Connect the output DMX OUT to the DMX
input of the second DMX unit . Connect the
output of the second DMX unit to the input of
the third DMX unit etc . until all DMX-controlled
units have been connected in a chain .
If the DMX connection cables between
the units are too short when interconnecting
multiple ODC-100 / WS spotlights, use suitable
extension cables, e . g .
ODP-34DMX
ODP-34DMX / 10 length: 10 m
3) To prevent interference in signal transmission,
in case of long cables or a multitude 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 a corresponding
terminating plug (e . g . DLT-123) to the DMX
output jack .
The easiest way to terminate the DMX
output of the ODC-100 / WS is to separate an
extension cable ODP-34DMX and to connect
