What are DMX lights?
DMX is an acronym for Digital Multiplex. It is the standard digital communication protocol that is used to remotely control intelligent lighting fixtures.
What does a DMX terminator do?
The DMX Terminator plugs into the feed-through connector of the final DMX device on a control cable. Using the DMX Terminator improves signal reliability by preventing reflections and reducing ringing. The DMX Terminator features a “happy” LED that illuminates when a strong DMX512 signal is present.
Can you daisy chain wireless DMX?
Every DMX fixture has an input and an output, allowing you to daisy-chain your DMX cable from one light to the next. Just make sure to give each fixture a discrete DMX address for individual control. DMX is robust, and has been around since 1986 for the simple reason that it works.
Can you use DMX for sound?

How far can you run a DMX cable?
So, how long can your cable run be? The DMX specification states the maximum length is 3,281’—but think about it. We are working in the real world; every connection can degrade the signal. A good working practice is to limit your cable run to 1,000′.
What do you use DMX for?

Do I need DMX terminators?
First, you need a terminator for the DMX signal. Without a signal terminator, your DMX signal will reach the end of the line, and bounce back like a rubber ball off a wall. This is known as a reflection and it will interfere with your DMX signal.
Why do my DMX lights flicker?
If the DMX signal reaches the end of the lighting run and isn’t terminated, the signal can bounce back which will cause interference and lead to flickering lights and loss of control. This is especially true in larger setups. Even if it’s a smaller setup, it’s always good practice to terminate the signal.
