DMX Primer The USITT DMX512-A data transmission protocol (DMX, from now on) is based on the EIA-485 standard and it has 512 channels (001 to 512). This system requires a controller (DMX controller), one or more DMX compatible fixtures, and a DMX circuit (also known as “DMX universe”) to link the fixtures to the controller. Depending on their complexity and features, DMX compatible fixtures may require from one to more than 30 DMX channels to operate. Some DMX fixtures have mu
