ADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - Vizi Beam RXONE User Manual Page 14Vizi Beam RXONE DMX Set UpPower Supply: The ADJ® Vizi Beam RXONE contains an electronic ballast, which will auto sensethe voltage when it is plugged into the power source. With the electronic ballast you do not need toworry about wall voltage. This unit can be plugged in anywhere.DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used by most lighting andcontroller manufactures as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. ADMX controller sends DMX data instructions from the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent asserial data that travels from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals locat-ed 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 belinked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMXcompliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX fixtures, try to usethe shortest cable path possible. The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does notinfluence the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1 may be placedanywhere in a DMX line: at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture isassigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to thatunit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Primary/Secondary Operation): The ViziBeam RXONE can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Vizi Beam RXONE has 2 DMX channelmodes: 15 channels and 17 channels. The DMX address is set electronically using the controls onthe front panel of the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require an approved DMX-512 110 OhmData cable for data input and data output (Figure 1). We recommend Accu-Cable DMX cables. If youare making your own cables, be sure to use standard 110-120 Ohm shielded cable (This cable maybe purchased at almost all professional sound and lighting stores). Your cables should be made witha male and female XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also remember that DMX cable mustbe daisy chained and cannot be split.
