2 Input DMX Merger - Technical Specification

· the merger circuit board draws less than 200ma @12VDC with 2 inputs present. The merger has an on board 5V regulator and can operate from 8-12VDC.

· all circuit board input/output and power connections are by screw terminals.

· All major circuit board components are socketed for easy field service.

· the merger has 2 DMX inputs that are merged by software on a Highest Takes Precedence (HTP) basis into one DMX output.

· the data rate of the merger DMX output is always the maximum allowable data rate.

· both inputs DMX1 and DMX2 are terminated with a 100 Ohm SMT resistor.

· upon loss of data at both inputs the merger output is held at MARK per the DMX standard for an idle DMX line.

· the merger will transmit the start code received at DMX1 or DMX2 (can be other than “0” ). When merging 2 inputs the start code byte is treated as regular data and is transmitted HTP. Note: the expected start code is “0”.

· the merger will transmit the maximum number of channels present at the inputs. If the 2 inputs have a different number of channels, then the input having the lowest channel count are merged HTP with the input having the most channels on a 1:1 basis and the remaining channels are transmitted un-modified.

· if data is suddenly lost at either input when merging 2 inputs, then the other input takes over instantly with no break in the DMX output stream. When operating either input DMX1 or DMX2 alone, the DMX output data is transmitted un-modified.

· the merger can handle DMX packets containing any number of channels up to a full 512 channels at either input.

NEW: -custom software is available for the DMX merger including chases (up to 512 different chases/effects possible) CALL.
