Appendix A: How to distribute DMX and DMX+ADN
ADN is a bi-directional protocol, and classic DMX amplifiers or splitters are not designed for
bi-directional operation. Furthermore, ADN uses the second data pair, which is discarded by
conventional DMX splitters.
This example shows a simple and economical method to distribute DMX and DMX+ADN throughout
a venue, using standard DMX boosters/splitters and one or several NETPORT XT.
In our example, a DMX lighting console generates the DMX signal. NETPORT XT is used for its
"ADN-to-Ethernet" function; its ArtDMX-to-DMX function is not used.
The DMX patch panel
The connection points are located throughout the venue or studio. Depending on the show, some
will be used for DMX+ADN, with the majority used for DMX only.
All these connection points are wired to a central XLR5 patch panel. The cabling can either be
classic DMX cabling (2 data pairs + screen; EIA-485), or Ethernet STP/FTP cabling fitted with
XLR5 connectors.
The DMX splitter
A DMX splitter is required to achieve a star-distribution of the DMX signal, and because you can’t
connect more than 32 standard receivers to one DMX output.
Outgoing lines with DMX
These lines are going to locations with DMX-only equipment: colour changers, automated lights,
strobes, smoke/fog generators, dimmers without ADN…
Outgoing lines with DMX+ADN
Such lines are far fewer in numbers. Each NETPORT XT features two independent outputs, so with
two NETPORT XT you can connect four DMX+ADN outgoing lines. E.g. one to the main dimmer
room, one backstage, and two for decentralised portable dimmers.
DMX generated by a conventional console (without ArtDMX)
In our example, the DMX signal is provided by a DMX console.
"Outgoing lines with DMX" are connected to an output port of the splitter.
"Outgoing lines with DMX+ADN" are plugged to a port of the NETPORT XT, which in turn is
connected to a splitter output port. These DMX data are not affected by the NETPORT XT. The
NETPORT XT adds ADN data to the second data pair.
