DMX splitter — model to be confirmed
Identify the DMX splitter and the control path you need to distribute. With the manufacturer, model and documentation, we can review the connections, signal branches and functions available on that unit.
Identification and scope
- Manufacturer and model
- To be confirmed from the unit’s identification
- Equipment designation
- DMX splitter
The DMX splitter designation does not confirm the number of outputs, connections or additional functions. Check the unit’s identification and documentation before defining signal distribution or applying settings.
Details for planning DMX distribution
- Manufacturer, model and revision, physical inputs and outputs and the variant’s documented functions.
- Required universes and branches, DMX connections and path, power and mounting specified by the manufacturer.
If possible, share a legible photo of the label and ports, or the relevant manual. Those details let us check the number and type of connections, isolation and other documented functions of the unit.
Prepare a diagram from the controller to the splitter input and branches reaching the fixtures, with the intended universe for each path. Once the unit is identified, documented distribution can be reviewed and a test of each signal branch agreed before the event, outside the live show.
Topics to discuss
- Inputs, outputs and functions
- Universes and signal branches
- DMX distribution and path
- Signal and power faults
Before applying settings, identify the complete equipment variant and consult its manual.
