4.2 Operation with a DMX controller
For control via a DMX light controller (DMX-1440
or DMX-510USB from "img Stage Line"), the
RGBL-422DMX provides 18 DMX control chan-
nels. The RGBL-422DMX can also be controlled
via 10, 7, 5 or 2 channels if the functions pro-
vided by these channels suffice or if less than
18 channels are available at the light controller.
DMX (Digital Multiplex) means digital control

4.2.1 DMX connection
for the first scene
For DMX connection, 3-pole XLR connections
with the following pin configuration are available:
will appear on the
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.

If the DMX connection cables between the
units are not long enough, use the appropri-
ate extension cables, e. g.
ODP-34DMX
(length: 2 m) or
ODP-34DMX / 10 (length: 10 m).
3) If the DMX control fails to work properly dur-
ing operation, terminate the DMX output of
the last DMX unit in the chain with a 120 Ω
resistor (> 0.3 W). The easiest way to termi-
nate the DMX output of a RGBL-422DMX is
to separate the extension cable ODP-34DMX
and to connect the resistor to the pins 2 and

3 of the plug. Connect the plug with the resis-
tor to the inline jack of the cable DMX OUT.
4.2.2 Setting the number of DMX channels
and the start address
For separate control of all DMX units connected
to the light controller, each unit requires a start
address of its own. Example: If the first DMX
channel of the RGBL-422DMX is to be controlled
by the light controller via DMX address 6, set the
start address on the light effect panel to 6. The
other DMX channels of the RGBL-422DMX will
then be automatically assigned to the subse-
quent addresses. Examples for various start
addresses:
