JUst to be clear, this cable is NOT the same as the IDMX or IDMX1000 ... Thats an LOR device to get you DMX 512 channels in an LOR way.
This is just to convert wiring from LOR version of DMX (on 4,5) to standard DMX wiring (on 1,2).
And as mentioned above, you have to flash your LOR controllers to latest firmware, which can be done easily using the LOR 'Hardware' utility.
In fact, I flashed mine while they are all outside hooked up ... in the yard, on the roof ... so pretty nice to be able to do that remotely and in
the middle of the night from inside.
Yeah, I had originally made the LOR to DMX cable to program the 3ch DMX modules you can get from holidaycoro .
That allowed me to program the DMX controller address using their free software using this cable and the LOR
USB adaptor ... and a loose wire + cat5 cord on the other side going to the DMX module I was wanting to program.
Its nothing more than taking the blue and blue+white on one side and cross connecting those to wires 1 & 2 on
the DMX side. I took a quick connect rj45 (cat5) jack and just put the blue and blue+white from the LOR side of
the cable and put it into 1,2 on the quick connect jack and then closed it with the plastic clamper. Then in the DMX
SIDE (using 1,2) you connect it ... and on the LOR SIDE (using 4,5) you connect it. I didn't even connect any other
wires in the cat5.
THey now have similar quick connect jacks at home depot (in the home LV wiring section) to make a cat5 quick splice ... for
$2 or less ... so very reasonable and very EASY !! (no soldering required).
