Understanding The DMX Splitter Better

By Laura Gallagher


DMX stands for Digital multiplex and the DMX Splitter is an alphanumeric mechanism used for proliferating signals from one cable to another. These modules comprise of small converters and mounted cable to cable links. They are used to enhance the signals by duplicating them and induce greater capabilities on a standard device. These components increase networking potential by dividing the signals and improving them through remote extensions.

These devices were invented by Engineering Commission of United States Institute for Theatre Technology in 1986. Since then they have found their application in Ethernet devices, led lighting, network boosting and all areas involving networks. This component makes use of daisy chains to outspread the network capability.

Daisy chains are cable train linked to inline devices. These chains are further branched into new daisy chains as needed, thereby giving multiple splitters. The output maybe isolated optics to prevent any sudden power surge. There are three pin or five pin type connection in Input and output modules.

In order to nullify any data snags during long distance multiple receptions, it is always advisable to implement optical modules. This measure enables electrical isolation of the lights and console. It further reduces the noise levels in the line and negates ground loops, hence avoiding any interference in the signal. In order to keep the strength strong, it regenerates the signal.

The digital multiplex terminator is another device, which is commonly used. This device consists of five pin XLR that is connected with two or sometimes three pins. This is helpful to terminate the end of the digital multiplex line. When using the remote management devices, it is important to terminate some signals and this maintains the data stability.

DMX Splitter is usually used to control the stage lightings and give special effects. This device is also utilized as a regular tool for light dimmer. One should have a sound knowledge about the circuit of the device to avoid any kind of technical problem.
