DMX-Mux

Artistic Licence DMX-Mux
DMX-Mux
Rackmount Multiplex Unit

The DMX-Mux is a 1U rackmount solution to the common problem of connecting analogue (0 to 10V) controllers to a DMX512 line.

DMX-Mux can either generate DMX512 from analogue inputs or merge the analogue inputs onto an existing DMX signal.

Input

The product supports two input types:

  • The DMX512 input accepts both flavours of DMX512. A receive data indicator is provided for this input. The DMX512 input is optically isolated from the output. This is a particular benefit in removing earth loop problems in large installations and outdoor events
  • The analogue input accepts 72 channels using three DB25 connectors. The product is calibrated for 0 to +10V operation although 0 to -10V operation may be selected internally.

Output

The output is formed by either merging the DMX512 and analogue inputs or simply from the analogue inputs.

When the address switch is set to 000, only the analogue inputs are considered. The DMX-Mux outputs 512 channels of which the first 72 represent the analogue input.

If the address switch is set to any value in the range 001 to 512, the DMX512 and analogue inputs are merged. The address switch sets the channel address at which the analogue inputs are merged onto the DMX512 input. The merge operation is highest takes precedence (HTP).
