The Use Of The DMX Merger

By Lela Perkins


The uses of the DMX merger are very broad both in the entertainment and in architectural projects. This device is usually made up of two controllers that are connected together. The controller is an electronic device that enables two or more signals to be combined together. They are then processed by a very fast microprocessor that ensures minimum delay in the inputs and outputs. The LED is then used to indicate which of the device is out putting signals and at which time.

These lighting controllers are used in controlling the color alterations. Two of these devices may be fixed together by the use one line to maximize their performance. With the second desk in place, it can act as a backup for the other one if it fails. This ensures when that they do not get to disappoint the actor in the course of their performance.

Different mergers have different mode of modes of operation. This includes the High Take precedence, the backup, and the merge mode. The high precedence mode involves two controllers that are connected to the same address line. A little competition takes place and the device that has a higher priority takes over the line and it is the one that gets the opportunity to send signal.

When they are operating at High Take Precedence mode, the two controllers are usually connected to different desks that are similar with a single address line. Here the one that gets to access the address line is the one with high preference than the other one. This is therefore similar to the concept of survival of the fittest in ecological studies because they compete and the one that qualifies gets to take control of the line while the other is left in a mode where it does not operate.

In the direct mode, the two controllers are connected to be bypassing the address line. This is a mode that does not fail and it is controlled by the switching between the two available controllers. It is the switch that decides on which of the available controllers should have control over the address line. When in possession of the line it has all the right of sending signals.

When the device in control of the line experiences a problem, the other one is given the opportunity to take over the line. This ensures that the performance proceeds without any form of destruction. This therefore intensifies the performance in the entertainment sector and other areas like the studios.

The merge mode the two devices are combined on a similar address line. The addressing of the line is done by the dip-switches that are incorporated in this structure. This therefore gives the two lines the same preference over the line.

Depending on the mode of operation there can be a lot of areas that the device can be applied. This however depends greatly on what functions the device is required to meet and in what way it is expected to meet this functions. The functioning of the dmx merger therefore greatly depends on the field where it is applied. But majorly its main function is to be able to connect two different signals to be output as one in order to increase its functionality.
