• DMX512 Connection
Connect the provided 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 VDPLP2403RGBA. Multiple VDPLP2403RGBAs can be linked through serial linking. The
linking cable should be a two-core screened cable with XLR input and output connectors.
• DMX512 Chain with Termination
• DMX512 Start Address
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 VDPLP2403RGBA.
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 VDPLP2403RGBAs 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 6-channel VDPLP2403RGBA, you will have to set the start address of the first VDPLP2403RGBA
to 1, the second VDPLP2403RGBA to 7 (1 + 6), the third to 13 (7 + 6) and so on.

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.
