What are DMX divisions?
Digital multiplex or DMX are divided by digital network components that multiply DMX signals from one cable into several cables. These components can be small smugglers, rail or stand units connecting the cable cable. They maintain and duplicate digital signals and effectively expand the standard network of 32-coding DMX512 to larger capacities. This allows unified control over dozens of accessories with hundreds of programmable effects in theater lighting systems. The distributors increase the network capabilities not only by dividing signals, but also strengthen them with other daisy chains or extend the remote cables. Each of these chains can then branch into their own new Daisy chains as needed. More DMX distribution can also be connected together.
Outputs can also be optical insulated to protect against power spikes. This ensures more reliable performance because each Daisy chain can potentially host up to 32 accessories, leading back to oneControl deck. Inputs and outputs usually have XLR connection sets with three or five pins.
TheDMX and DMX stands are designed to attach to external structures, sometimes using Velcro®, safety wires and clips. This allows versatile locations and faster and flexible assemblies. Some buffer dividers and protect DMX signals using internal or external power supply sources. Others can use light emitting diodes (LED) to detect energy and data. Like the splitter, the DMX merger performs a similar function, but instead merges the signals from multiple lines into a single line.
Standardized by the United States institute for theater technology (USITT), DMX512 Eninteroperability between DMX distribution and lighting components across manufacturers and brands. This allows innovative and creative arrangements for lighting networkbecause the equipment and accessories are limited only by the development of their manufacturer. This technology is also designed to suit technical progress and development of new products. The distribution also maintains signals more reliable than other components.
in networks using multiple energy sources or digital and lighting components that are far apart, signal transmission can be improved by distributing opto-islator. Different ground voltage can cause damage to crossover and signal or damage to the device. Optical insulation benefits larger network protection of the main system from devices that should be insulated. The device can be connected at any point along the network, allowing interference between signal load and cable runs. Merging lines via DMX distribution can introduce interference along the signal cables, which are usually running from the floors and separately from the power lines.
