XLR choice : 3 or 5 pins

The "DMX" norm imposes 5-pin XLR but the use of 3-pin XLR is very widespread because of their cost. Our interfaces are available either in 3-pin or 5-pin. You can change the XLR connector if you want. To do so, there are 4 resistors (0 ohms). See the table below, "YES" means that the resistor must be mounted :
Ref A B C D
Siudi1bis (out)
Siudi2 (in/out)
R30 R31 R5 R8
Siudi4 (out)
Ethernet-IP
RS1 RS2 RS3 RS4
Siudi6
low cost USB
A B C D
Siudi5 (out)
Siudi5 (in)
RSA1 RSA2 RSB1 RSB2 RSC1 RSC2 RSD1 RSD2
XLR Female 3 pins        
XLR Female 5 pins YES   YES  
XLR Male 3 pins   YES   YES
XLR Male 5 pins       YES


Notes:
- You cannot transform a "DMX OUT" interface into a "DMX IN" interface (or vice-versa) just by replacing the XLR connector.
- if you don't have a "0 ohms" resistor. you can use a small wire.

XLR Connector Pin Assignment :
Pin1 : DMX OUT GROUND
Pin2 : DMX OUT DATA -
