compatibility feature of 3 or 5-pins mainly for the sake of convenience. The DMX-4-5000-5simply ignores the audio data from the 2 extra pins and functions using the same data as theDMX-4-5000-3.The DMX-4-5000 is a reliable way to run RGB and RGB+ LED lighting and can be connected ina daisy chain to suit any size installation, compatible with either a 3 or 5-pin DMX output ofyour choice. The compact 24 channel DMX-24-5000 is perfect for running more lights with lesswiring, but does not support as much current per channel without amplifiers.RGBX LED strip Example: Example:Waterproof RGB+ Non-waterproof RGB+Daylight WhiteAmberExamples of RGB+ 4-color LED strips you can control with the 4-channel decoder.DMX-4-5000 DMX Decoder-studioFigure 1 Figure 2DMX Input (3 or 5-pin) into either RJ45 port (top) andRJ45 cable to daisy chain to next decoder (bottom)Power Input andAnalog Output to LEDsCopyright EnvironmentalLights.com 2 All Rights Reserved 10/20/13
The DMX-4-5000-3 ships with the 3-pin XLR cable shown above in Figure 1 and mates withstandard 3-pin DMX outputs. The DMX-4-5000-5 ships with the 5-pin XLR cable shown abovein Figure 2 and mates with standard 5-pin DMX outputs. Each will also include an RJ45 jumperto connect to the next decoder, if any.FeaturesImproved performance: the studio version has an output frequency of 5,000 Hertz, whichis high enough to avoid the appearance of flickering that can occur with high speed iriscameras increasingly used by state-of-the-art studios. We developed this product inresponse to requests from our customers in the television and film industry.Converts standard DMX signal to analog signal suitable for driving 12 VDC or 24 VDCLED lighting, such as our LED strips.Output is 4 channels, typically Red, Green, Blue, and White or Amber. Outputs are pulsewidth modulation (PWM) signals and dim Red, Green, Blue, and White or Amberindependently under direction of the DMX input signal.DIP switches on the side allow you to set the decoder’s lowest address so it uses theaddress you desire from your DMX program. Each decoder has a DMX device addressyou can set. Internal termination provided by a resistor that may be activated by flipping switch 10.5 amps per channel maximum sustained power; 6.67 amps per channel maximum peakpower (3-channel only); 4 channels; 12 or 24 VDC output. Recommended maximumworst-case is 7 amps per channel, or 20 amps total max., whichever is less.6.67 amps x 12 volts x 3 channels = 240 watts at 12 VDC or 480 watts at 24 VDC.5 amps x 12 volts x 4 channels = 240 watts at 12 VDC or 480 watts at 24 VDC.Use amplifiers for additional power, if necessary.0 to 110°F recommended operating range.Power dissipation is < 1 watt.2 year warranty.Copyright EnvironmentalLights.com 3 All Rights Reserved 10/20/13
