 | | DMX 512 is just a communications protocol, so the wiring practice aren't described in DMX 512 standards, but in the requirements of the EIA485 industrial interface (also know as RS 485), which must be followed and specifies the voltages, currents and components to be used. |
 | | At present, the majority of DMX transmitters and receivers are manufactured in compliance with the standard, so the weak point of an installation could be the type of cables used and the way in which the DMX line is prepared. |
