Using the wired DMX adapter

The Wired DMX breakout box is a passive adapter that takes the 4 universe DMX signal and splits it out to 4 individual XLR 5pin connectors. It only works if plugged in the “DMX Out” port.

It uses the same RJ45 connector as Ethernet to save on space but the conversion to DMX is done inside of Cerise itself.

There are two variants of the adapter, the SSNAKE and Stairville, the only difference is that stairville requires the small adapter provided to work properly.
