DMX Speed

DMX has a number of timing variables. The information presented here will probably be useful for only a small proportion of users, but can assist in getting troublesome DMX equipment to work. If you need further information, the book "Recommended Practice for DMX512 - A guide for installers and users" is highly recommended, and available from PLASA or ESTA.

There are several ares where DMX timing can vary in a DMX packet. Each packet follows the format shown above.

First, a break occurrs telling the reciever that this is the start of a new packet. Then the line is driven high for the Make after Break (MAB) time. Then follows the start code, followed by the "post start" time. Then there follows the channel data, during which the line can be high (idle) for a variable amount of time between channels, known as the interbyte time. Finally after the last channel the line goes high(idle) for the interpacket delay time until the break of the next packet.

The following are the mimum values allowable by the ESTA DMX-512A standard :

Timing Parameter	Minimum	Maximum
Break	92μs	Note 1
Make-After-Break	12μs	Note 1
Post-Start	8μs (Two stop bits)	Note 1
Interbyte	8μs (Two stop bits)	Note 1
Interpacket	8μs (Two stop bits)	Note 1

Note 1 : These timings can be any value to add up to make a packet lenth of up to one second.

As you can see a very wide variety of timings is permissible. For reference, here are the timings for some different ETC products.

DMX

Filed under: DMX

DMX512 is the most commonly used data protocol for theatrical control. For a more technical overview of DMX see the Wikipedia article on DMX.

DMX is an international ANSI standard maintained by ESTA. It is not proprietary to any one manufacturer. An enhancement to DMX512 called RDM is also available in some ETC products and is detailed in its own wiki page [[products:RDM]]

Topology & Connectors

DMX systems consist of a single transmitting or 'master' device plus between one and 32 receiving devices. For portable devices (like an ETC Selador Fixture), typically a reciever will use a five pin XLR type connector, with a male connector used for the DMX input to the device, and a female connector used for the DMX thru connector.

DMX should always be daisy chained from device to device. It should never be "Y-Split" as this will reduce the reliability of communication.

DMX should be terminated at the end of the line with a 120Ohm resistor between the data + and data - connections. Many ETC products feature ways to do this (for example, a Sensor+ rack has termination switches on the backplane PCB).

For installed devices (such as Sensor+ racks), ETC has standardised on using a five pin removable header, available as a screw connector type or a punchdown type connector.

In some cases, most frequently used in Europe, RJ45 connectors are used for DMX. These should only be used in patch panel type scenarios; most RJ45 connectors are not rugged enough to be used in the field for data connections. They are very sensitive to the ingress of dust, and are also mechanically weak. There is a USITT standard pinout for the use of DMX on RJ45 connectors, shown below.

Cabling

DMX uses a cable consisting of two twisted pairs plus a shield to carry data. The cable must be specifically impedance matched for the digital DMX signal. meaning that microphone cable or other non-rated cable must not be used to carry DMX. Network cable (Cat5, 5e or 6 cable) may be used to carry DMX in an installation; however special consideration must be given to shielding and termination. Under no circumstances should solid core cable like Cat5 be terminated into a screw down connector.

ETC recommends the use of Belden 9729 for DMX installation. Other cables may be acceptable; ETC project management can help with recommendations of other cables. Belden 9729 is a two pair cable, which allows for a spare pair for 'out and back' type terminations if needed.

The original and 1990 versions of the DMX standard specify 120 ohm or 100 ohm 1– or 2–twisted pair shielded cable suitable for use with EIA–485 (120 ohm) and EIA–422 (100 ohm) electronics.

Troubleshooting DMX

Since DMX is used in rough field conditions it is not unusual to have to troubleshoot problems with control via DMX. The basic troubleshooting steps are :

Is the DMX terminated? Many people treat the fitting of a termination resistor as optional; but although DMX may work without it, in this state a small change to the DMX network, like adding another cable, may stop the system from working or cause intermittent effects like flicker of dimmers, twitching of moving lights and so on. Adding termination can help eliminate these effects
Is the cabling OK? DMX may continue to work partially even under extreme conditions like having one half of the data pair broken. If you have a fixture which is misbehaving, take it and connect it directly to the DMX source with a short jumper cable. If it now works there is an issue with your cabling to be investigated
Is the device OK? Damage to device DMX recievers can occur in many ways; lightning storms are a common problem. If the device doesn't respond to DMX when connected directly to a known good DMX source via a known good cable, the device itself may need service to repair a damaged DMX input
Does the device support full speed DMX? The DMX512 standard allows a very wide range of timings for the parameters of the DMX signal. Some devices do not support the full range of timings. In order to help troubleshoot this, ETC products feature output speeds that can be altered to help slower devices. All current ETC products support DMX ouput speeds of Max (Default), Fast, Medium and Slow. If you have a DMX device that still misbehaves even when connected directly to a known good DMX output, try reducing the DMX speed of the DMX output to see if the problem improves. For further information on DMX speeds see the [[products:DMX Speed|DMX Speed]] article.

Many people treat the fitting of a termination resistor as optional; but although DMX may work without it, in this state a small change to the DMX network, like adding another cable, may stop the system from working or cause intermittent effects like flicker of dimmers, twitching of moving lights and so on. Adding termination can help eliminate these effects
Is the cabling OK? DMX may continue to work partially even under extreme conditions like having one half of the data pair broken. If you have a fixture which is misbehaving, take it and connect it directly to the DMX source with a short jumper cable. If it now works there is an issue with your cabling to be investigated
Is the device OK? Damage to device DMX recievers can occur in many ways; lightning storms are a common problem. If the device doesn't respond to DMX when connected directly to a known good DMX source via a known good cable, the device itself may need service to repair a damaged DMX input
Does the device support full speed DMX? The DMX512 standard allows a very wide range of timings for the parameters of the DMX signal. Some devices do not support the full range of timings. In order to help troubleshoot this, ETC products feature output speeds that can be altered to help slower devices. All current ETC products support DMX ouput speeds of Max (Default), Fast, Medium and Slow. If you have a DMX device that still misbehaves even when connected directly to a known good DMX output, try reducing the DMX speed of the DMX output to see if the problem improves.

DMX

DMX512 is the most commonly used data protocol for theatrical control. For a more technical overview of DMX see the Wikipedia article on DMX.

Topology & Connectors

DMX should always be daisy chained from device to device. It should never be "Y-Split" as this will reduce the reliability of communication.

For installed devices (such as Sensor+ racks), ETC has standardised on using a five pin removable header, available as a screw connector type or a punchdown type connector.

Cabling

The original and 1990 versions of the DMX standard specify 120 ohm or 100 ohm 1– or 2–twisted pair shielded cable suitable for use with EIA–485 (120 ohm) and EIA–422 (100 ohm) electronics.

Cycling the Internal Media Frame to clear

Filed under: Revolution

Having trouble with the Internal Media Frame (IMF) not clearing. So running the IMF controls to full (255), letting it take its time, then setting it back to (0) and also letting it take it's time, usually clears the frost.

Doesn't always work though.

So, last time I tried this and it didn't work I added an element. I first zoomed the fixtures out wide (100%), then ran the IMF to full, then ran the IMF out. That worked even after I had tried the regular IMF FULL>OUT trick several times with no success.

Expression / Insight Consoles

Filed under: RFU, RRFU, Expression, Insight

Manuals

The Expression line of consoles was produced for mid-range performance spaces until 2007, when they were supplanted by the [[products:eos-lighting-console|Eos]], Ion and Element console ranges. They run identical the same software versions (though a different actual file) to the Express consoles, but have a wider range of hardware (such as moving light encoders) and higher numbers of controllable dimmers.

Insight consolesare have identical in terms of functionality to Expression consoles buthave with higher fader counts, leading to lasting popularity in the film and TV lighting markets.

Expression consoles support remote video output and DMX output from Net1 RVIs and RIUs, as well as ETCNet2 Video and DMX nodes running in Net1 mode. See [[products:Configuring Nodes from Expression|Configuring Nodes from Expression]] for details on how this is set up.

Expression / Insight Consoles

Filed under: RFU, RRFU, Expression, Insight

Manuals

The Expression

line of consoles was produced for mid-range performance spaces until 2007, when they were supplanted by the [[products:eos-lighting-console|Eos]], Ion and Element console ranges. They run identical software to the Express consoles, but have a wider range of hardware (such as moving light encoders) and higher numbers of controllable dimmers.

Insight consoles are identical in terms of functionality to Expression consoles but have higher fader counts, leading to lasting popularity in the film and TV lighting markets.
