With this switch there is no need to worry about the correct power voltage,this unit can be plugged in anywhere.DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro- tocol used as a form of communicationbetween intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from the controller tothe fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that trav- els from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA“OUT” XLR ter- minals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA “OUT” terminal).DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked togetherand operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX compli- ant. To ensureproper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. Theorder in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the DMX addressing. For example; afixture assigned a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, oranywhere in the middle. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to sendDATA assigned to address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.
