DMX Branch 419™ Operation

The DMX Branch 419 is a 4-way DMX distributor with a 3-pin and 5-pin XLR input jack. Be sure to never connect more than one input source to this unit at a time. Two input jacks have been provided for universal connectivity only. This unit takes the incoming DMX signal and safely boost and splits the signal into four separate output channels. Each output channel and the input channel are completely electronically isolated from each other to avoid unwanted signal crosstalk that can cause erratic behavior.

All four output channels have independent output drivers. A 3-pin and 5-pin output connector is provided per a channel allowing the output of each channel to double when using both connectors at once.
