"Dear customer, it's not a DMX adapter, it's a HUB; you have one input from a DMX controlling device (IE DMX fader control, or a computer with a DMX adapter attached to it) and one output from a DMX controlling device (IE DMX fader control, or a computer with a DMX adapter attached to it)." br>DMX is a looping system. This allows you to run one string to each area from a central point by breaking one loop into several. This is useful if you have a lot of fixtures or lights on different bars.
In contrast to the larger, 6/8-inch-thickness-thickness-thickness- the 4-port models There is no internal termination mechanism in the port model. However, I've discovered that as long as this isn't at the end of a long chain (e.g., e.g., e.g., e.g., e.g., e.g If you're only connecting one line from your console to it (and never using the "output" daisy chain ports), a terminator is usually unnecessary.
DMX is not affected by the amount of light that is used. The device is powered by the blue plug in the picture, and if you're looking for a 6 way DMX splitter, this is a fantastic unit. Just remember to get chain terminators to bring the chain to a close. I have no problems running DMX to all 6 splits with 14 par lights (3 separate chains), 4 moving head spots, 4 spiders, and two floor fog upsprays/uplight machines.
No, you'll need a 277V transformer.
Selected User Reviews For MFL. 4 Way Isolated DMX Splitter Amplifier Distributor with 3-Pin Outputs
I bought this splitter because it had good reviews and the price seemed reasonable, despite the fact that it wasn't the cheapest. This thing is still failing by the numbers after 6 months! Until I can get the DMX controller started, three of the four channels cause my fixtures to go completely insane. Even so, programming the fixtures with the controller is difficult due to the splitter's inaccurate data. br>To replace this junk, I bought a Chauvet splitter, and I wish I had gone this route from the start. To replace it, I'll have to climb up into our church's attic. not fun. br>Spend a little more and stay away from this chinese garbage! When it comes to building a DMX system, stay away from Amazon's chinese garbage. You'll be glad you took the time to do so.
MFL 4- was placed on a remote mount. Isolated two separate DMX, terminated circuits from each other with a Way Isolated DMX Splitter Amplifier Distributor located about 230 feet from the control head. We now have consistent performance on both DMX groups, and this product is exactly what our design required given the installation constraints.
We had a few 50-foot DMX runs and didn't realize we needed a DMX signal boost. We ordered three of these after squabbling over cords and troubleshooting. Since the boosters were installed, we have had no issues. It's a fantastic product with a fantastic price tag.
I have one of these installed over a catwalk with only one fixture between it and my host device; I'm only using three of the four outputs at the moment, but it's helped me organize my DMX runs up above the ceiling and, as a result, has actually made some of my DMX runs shorter, as I don't have to loop back and forth as much as I would have to without it. This repeater also worked well with an RF transmitter/receiver set for both DMX in and out, which I only needed for a short period of time. I'll add a second one of these to the collection when I add a second universe, either because I ran out of addresses (I still have about half left) or because I need to do so for installation and cable management reasons. It appears to be durable enough to withstand some punishment. Mine was stepped on a couple of times during the initial installation and banged up against steel beams at least once before it arrived at its final destination.
It died after only a few uses over the course of 5 months. It says there's a fuse, but it's soldered into the board, and the capacitor, not the fuse, blew. The capacitor's cap housing was literally blown off. It was a waste of money.
I think I bought ten of them. br>br>For the money, this is a fantastic splitter. The only criticism I have is that the powercon cable that comes with it isn't particularly impressive. I ended up having to replace the phony powercon connector.
It performs exactly as I had hoped. No complaints about the ease of installation or the quality of the power cables.
It performs in the same way as the more expensive models. This works perfectly with my DMX lines. For the price, it's a great deal. Wow. I regret squandering money on more expensive opto isolators and splitters in the past.
