This unit has 4 channels. Refer to the functions below:

• DMX512 Connection
Connect an XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other side to the
male 3-pin XLR input of the VDPLP64SB / VDPLP64SC. Multiple VDPLP64SB / VDPLP64SCs can
be linked through serial linking. The linking cable should be a two-core screened cable with XLR
input and output connectors.
• DMX-512 Chain with Termination
A DMX terminator is recommended for installations where the DMX cable has
to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy environment (e.g. discos).
The terminator prevents corruption of the digital control signal by electrical
noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120Ω resistor
between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output socket of
the last device in the chain.
Please see illustrations.
• Projector DMX start address selection
All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the
signals. This start address is the channel number from which the device starts to “listen” to the DMX
controller. Enter the correct number and read it from the display located on the base of the
VDPLP64SB / VDPLP64SC.
You can use the same starting address for a whole group of devices or enter an individual one for
every device.
When all devices have the same address, all the VDPLP64SB / VDPLP64SCs will “listen” to the
control signal on one particular channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will
affect all devices simultaneously. If you set different addresses, each device will “listen” to a
separate channel number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in
question.
In the case of the 4-channel VDPLP64SB / VDPLP64SC, you will have to set the start address of
the first VDPLP64SB / VDPLP64SC to 1, the second VDPLP64SB / VDPLP64SC to 5 (1 + 4), the
third to 9 (5 + 4) and so on.
