(pict.5) The pin nomenclature of the connectors for the connection to the DMX signal is listed in the table. (pict.5a) In order to avoid any problem in the signal transmission, it is warmly suggested to use a cable for high speed data transmission.

WARNING DMX TERMINAL LINE The wrong connection of the terminal line or its non-connection are probably the most frequent reasons for the defective functioning of the DMX line. The terminator is a resistor fitted between the two “data” lines (pins 2 and 3 of an XLR 5 pin connector) at the end of the cable furthest from the transmitter.
