This video is probably the best 101 ever for how DMX works!

TMK ! and everybody guys hello. let me know if you have some opinion or am I wrong? I have an old Sony Genezy with D-Light Controller, to plug it with DMX Lamps (3 pins). I suppose lamps DMX brand or models should work with this Sony device, being DMX it most work I suppose. I saw in the label of Sony controller by ADJ Lamps, "we don't guarantee other brand will work". Other envelope the same device displayed: "to use with DMX lamps" (0o) woot! I suppose, being DMX 3 pines lamp, it should work with this Sony DMX Controller, (the controller is linked with the proper Sony Genezy model with the D-Light feature).

I dont think a terminator at the end is "important" almost never used one and worked just fine even in 120m runs i know technically the reflections should couse troble but when i had dmx problems a Terminator never was the solution and second thing RDM where the fixture can talk back to the console it also only uses pin 2 and 3, 4 and 5 is not realy specified in DMX512-A and is very very rarely used
