4.4 DMX-Anschluss
For DMX control, connect a DMX cable from your DMX controller's output to the "DMX In" port of the first fixture. For multiple fixtures, connect the "DMX Out" of the first fixture to the "DMX In" of the next, and so on. Use a DMX terminator on the last fixture in the chain for optimal signal integrity.
