- Design your own 1 in X 8 out splitter with 3 or 5 pin XLR connectors or both
- Compatible with all ELM Video Technology’s DMX512 PCB’s
- Engineered with quality parts and a reliable and simple design
- ‘Active’ LED illuminates indicating DMX signal is present, Power LED for 5VDC.
DS8D-PCB INCLUDES:
- Assembled PCB (Printed Circuit Board) Assembly with (4) .375″ standoffs and screws
The DS8 is equipped with a standard chipset and uses a ‘True Fault’** input IC (accurate data LED indication) with standard output IC’s. If you need additional protection, choose the ‘Chipset’ upgrade. The chipset upgrade uses a ‘True Fault’** input IC and *TVS protection on all outputs.
*NOTE – [Optical Input] In order to optically isolate the input and offer protection, the DSI-4 requires a 25mA input line load which is ½ of a DMX 512 daisy chain load. It is recommended this unit be used directly out of the lighting board or DMX generating device. Because of this load the input does not conform to the DMX 512 specifications but should work with most systems. Also note that the outputs are separately driven and electronically isolated, not optically isolated from each other.
**True Fault Input IC – A terminated and open DMX input is provides an accurate data LED indication. This IC features a fail-safe circuitry, which guarantees a logic-high receiver output when the receiver inputs are open or shorted.
Note with the standard chipset – The 8 outputs are separately driven and electronically isolated, not “Transient Voltage Suppressed” isolated from each other.
