DMX terminator? If you put the
terminator anywhere, it has to be
on the
power supply. For those who don't know, the I-Cues run off of a standard
color scroller power supply, with 4-pin cable. You just
address them, and they pull both
power and signal from that one
cord. So, you have a 4-pin
scroller cable going to the first
I-Cue, from that one to the second, and so on down the
line until you get to the last one (make sure that your
power supply has enough
juice), and then you run a
return cable from the last
I-Cue (or
scroller or rotator or whatever) back to the
power supply. The
power supply receives standard
AC current and a
DMX signal, and converts them in to the special
DMX/
power common
carrier cabling
system. So if you need a
terminator anywhere, you need it on the
Power Supply, and some
power supplies may have terminators built in.
This is the main beauty of the
I-Cue, because it does not have to have a
line voltage input,
power supply and all that stuff
on the unit. This reduces weight and also makes this
unit quieter.
