DMX Splitter: Optimal solution for your DMX installation
What does a DMX splitter do?
A DMX splitter, also known as a DMX distributor, takes an incoming DMX signal and distributes it to multiple outputs. The signal is reprocessed and amplified, whereby our devices have implemented the function of a DMX booster! This is especially useful when operating multiple DMX devices in different control cabinets or areas (of a venue, stage, house). The main functions of a DMX splitter are:
- Signal amplification: The DMX splitter amplifies the incoming DMX signal to ensure that it can be transmitted over long cable runs without signal loss.
- Signal distribution: The splitter distributes the DMX signal to multiple outputs, simplifying cabling and increasing flexibility.
- Security: The signal separation of the outputs prevents a fault in one DMX branch from affecting the entire system.
How does the DMX splitter work?
A DMX splitter works by taking the incoming DMX signal and distributing it to multiple outputs, while also amplifying it. Here is a simple diagram to illustrate:
Each output of the DMX splitter is separate to ensure a safe and reliable signal distribution. This prevents electrical interference, short circuits in one output or an overloaded circuit from affecting the rest of the system.
DMX Splitter 4-way: More flexibility and safety
Our DMX splitters provide up to four outputs that allow for flexible and secure distribution of the DMX signal. This is ideal for larger installations where multiple DMX devices need to be controlled in different zones. The main advantages of a 4-way DMX splitter are:
| Advantage | Description |
|---|---|
| Extended Range | Amplifies the DMX signal to cover greater distances. |
| More flexibility | Enables the signal to be easily distributed to multiple devices. |
| Signal stability | different outputs protect against signal loss and interference. |
| Easy installation | clear and standardized cabling (DMX bus topology) simplifies system setup |
DMX Booster: Stable signal transmission
A DMX booster, integrated into each of our DMX splitters, amplifies the DMX signal to ensure that it is transmitted over longer cable runs without any loss of quality. This is especially important when multiple devices are connected to a bus, or in complex lighting control setups where reliable signal transmission is essential.
Applications and compatibility
Our DMX splitters are compatible with all DMX products, including our DMX dimmers, DMX relays and other DMX components. This makes them a versatile solution for any DMX installation. We offer our DMX splitters in a practical housing for mounting on a DIN rail and have both a unidirectional (DMX Splitter 4-way) and a bidirectional (RDM Splitter 4-way) variant in our range.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
What does a DMX splitter do?
A DMX splitter distributes an incoming DMX signal to several outputs, amplifies the signal and protects the system with different DMX universes.
How does a DMX splitter work?
A DMX splitter takes an incoming DMX signal and distributes it to multiple outputs to simplify and secure signal distribution.
What does a DMX booster do?
A DMX booster amplifies the DMX signal to ensure stable transmission even over longer cable lengths.
What is the difference between a DMX splitter and a DMX booster?
A DMX splitter distributes the DMX signal to multiple outputs (DMX universes) and amplifies the signal. A DMX booster, on the other hand, primarily amplifies the DMX signal to keep it stable over longer distances. Our DMX splitters contain integrated booster functions to fulfill both tasks.
