Features:
Configuration:
The IT-SP8R has two user-selectable configuration switches.
Termination:The DMX standard recommends that the last device in a DMX chain be properly terminated. If the IT-SP8R is the last DMX device on the DMX network coming from the Lighting Controller, the DMX Termination Switch should be ON.
Polarity:
There are two primary wiring schemes used for DMX data being carried on CAT5 cabling -- the “standard” DMX wiring, and a different scheme used by Color Kinetics® products. The IT-SP8R has a switch that can be used to invert the polarity of the data from the Input port to the 8 Output ports. If DMX wiring is used on both the input and outputs, or if CK wiring is used on both the input and outputs, then the Polarity switch should be set to Normal. If the wiring on the Input side of the IT-SP8R is the opposite (DMX-to-CK or CK-to-DMX), then the Polarity switch should be set to Invert.
CAT5 DMX Wiring:
The following chart shows the standard DMX512 usage of each conductor on a CAT5 cable, plus how Color Kinetics® products are wired, and how the IT-SP8R is internally wired in order to accommodate both types of wiring.
When the Polarity switch is set to "Normal", the Data +/- signals are passed to the output ports unchanged (as shown in the chart). When the Polarity switch it set to "Invert", the Data +/- signals are reversed when passed to the output ports to effectively convert from the DMX wiring style to Color Kinetics® or vice-versa.
Quick Links: SKU# DMX-RJ45-SPLITTERSeveral transmitters can be operated in parallel, each of which is easily linkable to any number of receivers and capable of handling one full universe of 512 DMX channels.
All XWL products are equipped with M10/M12 and 3/8" threads to provide a variety of installation possibilities, such as mounting on a microphone stand.
