Fixture Linking

You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to

run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined

number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the

data link can support.

The Calypso uses a maximum of 4 channels.

Important: Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply with the

EIA-485 standard no more than 30 devices should be connected on one data link.

Connecting more than 30 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically

isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.

Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 100 meters

Maximum recommended number of Calypso fixtures on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures

Data Cabling

To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase DAP Audio certified DMX cables

directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own cable

please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic

interference.
