8. aka DMX 512 was created in 1986 by the United States Institute for Theatre Technology USITT as a standardized method for connecting lighting consoles to lighting dimmer modules It was revised in 1990 and again in 2000 to allow more flexibility The Entertainment Services and Technology Association ESTA has since assumed control over the DMX512 standard It has also been approved and recognized for ANSI standard clas sification DMX covers and is an abbreviation for Digital MultipleXed signals It is the most common communications standard used by lighting and related stage equipment DMX provides up to 512 control channels per data link Each of these channels was origi nally intended to control lamp dimmer levels You can think of it as 512 faders on a lighting console connected to 512 light bulbs Each slider s position is sent over the data link as an 8 bit number having a value between 0 and 255 The value 0 corresponds to the light bulb being completely off while 255 corresponds to the light bulb being fully on DMX data is transmitted at 250 000 bits per second using the RS 485 transmission stan dard over two wires As with microphone cables a grounded cable shield is used to prevent interference with other signals There are five pins on a DMX connector a wire for ground cable shield two wires for Primary communication which goes from a DMX source to a DMX receiver and two wires for a Secondary communication
9. ason the data is not interpreted the first time around it will be re sent shortly Not all 512 channels need to be output per packet and in fact it is very uncommon to find all 512 used The fewer channels are used the higher the refresh rate It is possible to get DMX refreshes at around 1000 times per second if only 24 channels are being trans mitted If all 512 channels are being transmitted the refresh rate is around 44 times per second In summary since its design and evolution in the 1980 s DMX has become the standard for lighting control It is flexible robust and scalable and its ability to control everything from dimmer packs to moving lights to foggers to lasers makes it an indispensable tool for any lighting designer or lighting performer Page 19 Torrent Streak User Manual Rev A c 2014 Blizzard Lighting LLC Keeping Your Torrent Streak As Good As New The fixture you ve received is a rugged tough piece of pro lighting equip ment and as long as you take care of it it will take care of you That said like anything you ll need to take care of it if you want it to operate as designed You should absolutely keep the fixture clean especially if you are using it in an environment with a lot of dust fog haze wild animals wild teenagers or spilled drinks Cleaning the optics routinely with a suitable glass cleaner will greatly improve the guality of light output Keeping the fans free of dust and debris
