2. INTRODUCTION

Nexus Dual Split RDM is a DMX & RDM splitter pro-

vided with eight outputs, which can be connected

to any of the two inputs. Each of its ten signal ports

is optically isolated.

With its 128x128 full color pixels OLED display, a

navigation button and a push button for each of

the signal ports, the conguration of the splitter is

quick and easy to do in spite of the device’s versa-

tility. An RGB LED next to each of the signal ports

lets you know at a glance whether a good signal is

available at any given port.

If you need to know more about the incoming DMX

signal, the OLED display will show you the refresh

rate and the number of received channels when

you push the button next to any of the two inputs.

Furthermore, a graphical overview of the received

channel values is available.

6. DMX CONNECTIONS

Mains Connection

The user must supply a suitable power cable. He

may then either hard-wire the power cable to the

building’s electrical installation, providing an easily

accessible power on/o switch close to the device,

or install on the power cable a grounding-type

(earthed) mains plug that is suitable for the local

power outlets, following the power plug manufac-

turer’s instructions. Consult a qualied electrician,

if you have any doubts about the proper installation.

A blue powerCON cable mount connector must be

used to supply power at the LF-SP28-3P ’s power

input socket.

Depending on the version, the Nexus Dual Split

RDM is equipped with 5-pin or 3-pin XLR connectors.

XLR Connectors

The DMX inputs are fully isolated. All outputs are

isolated transmitters with a bias network for RDM

operation. Each output port is individually optically

isolated, meaning that it is totally isolated from the

other output ports and from the input section.

Warning! For protection against dangerous

electrical shocks, the device must be grounded

(earthed). The local AC power source must be sup-

plied with both overload and ground-fault (earth

fault) protection.

Important! Only attach or remove a powerCON

connector while it is connected to the mains to

apply or cut power in an emergency situation, as

by doing so may cause arcing at the terminals that

will damage the connectors.

7. SETTINGS AND MENU

General Navigation

The navigation buttons is the primary means for

navigating through the menus. Most of the menus

arrange items vertically. In those menus, Press the

down button to select the item below the currently

selected item or Press the up button to select the

item above the currently selected item. In menus

that arrange items horizontally (e.g. text elds), Press

the down button means “to the right” and counter

Press the up button means “to the le”.

Other than that, the right button also functions as a

push button. This button is generally used to conrm

a selection or to navigate to a selected submenu.

This manual will also refer to pushing the right but-

ton as “push [OK]” or “push the [OK] button”.

The le button (depicted on page 7), which is gener-

ally used to dismiss a selection or to exit a menu.

By keeping the le button pressed for at least two

seconds, you can always navigate to the Home

Screen. From the Home Screen, the menu is

launched by simply pushing the [OK] button.

Below, the following notation is used to describe lo-

cations in the menu: Home > Menu > Sub menu > …

For example, the manual could say “navigate to

Home > Menu > Input A > Mode”. This can be read as

follows:

Keep le button pressed for 2 seconds or pushing

the home button to reach the Home Screen.

Then, press MENU to get to the menu.

Select “Input A” using the up down key and press

enter again to conrm the selection.

Select “Mode” and conrm your selection once

again with the ENTER button.

The Home Screen (Main Screen) is divided into a le

and a right section. The le section contains infor-

mation about the signal status of the input A and the

currently active DMX Output Mode of the outputs

connected to input A. The other half of the Home

Screen shows the same information for the input

port B and its connected outputs.

Input/Universe Settings and

Information

The settings for the universe A (B) and its input are

accessible under Home > Menu > Input A (Home >

Menu > Input B). This menu oers the sub menus

“Mode”, “Failure Behaviour” and “Status Informa-

tion”, which are described next.

DMX Mode

The DMX mode of the outputs

connected to universe A (B) can

be selected under Home > Menu

> Input A > Mode (Home > Menu

> Input B > Mode). A mode is activated by selecting

it using the up down button and conrming with the

[OK] button. The currently active mode is agged by

a bullet point on the le side.

The following modes are available:

DMX and RDM

In this mode, any arriving DMX and RDM data is for-

warded to the outputs of the corresponding universe

as it arrives at the input. NAVIGATOR DUAL SPLIT

RDM is discoverable via RDM and responds to RDM

packets addressed to the device. For RDM-traic

addressed to devices connected to the outputs of

the universe, the device operates as a bidirectional

RDM-splitter.

DMX and RDM is the default mode which is applied to

both universes when you restore the default settings

as described on manual.

Classic DMX

DMX data is forwarded as it arrives. The splitter is

not discoverable via RDM and does not work as a

bidirectional splitter.

DMX 40 Hz, Frame Int.

This mode sends DMX data with a well-dened

timing characteristic, regardless of the timing of

the received signal. At the cost of a small delay, the

“Frame Integrity” is maintained. This means, that

no partially updated DMX frames are sent out. This

may be important when multi-slot parameters are

in use. The splitter is not discoverable via RDM and

does not work as a bidirectional splitter.

DMX 30 Hz, Frame Int.

As above.

DMX 20 Hz, Frame Int.

As above.

DMX 10 Hz, Frame Int.

As above.

DMX 40 Hz

This mode sends DMX data with a well-dened

timing characteristic, regardless of the timing of

the received signal.

The “Frame Integrity” is not maintained. This

means that partially updated DMX frames may be

sent out. The splitter is not discoverable via RDM

and does not work as a bidirectional splitter.

Failure Behaviour

For each of the two input universes, one of two fail-

ure behaviours can be chosen under Menu > Input A

> Failure Behaviour (Home > Menu > Input B > Failure

Behaviour).

The failure behaviour determines how the respective

universe reacts at the occurrence of a failure. Gen-

erally, it is considered a failure when no valid DMX

signal is observed at the input for the duration of

one second. If the universe is in DMX and RDM mode

however, it is considered a failure only if neither a

valid DMX frame nor the beginning of an RDM mes-

sage is observed for one second.

O

No DMX is sent on the outputs. In the modes DMX

and RDM and Classic DMX the outputs continue to

forward whatever arrives at the inputs.

Hold Last Look

The outputs of the universe continue sending out

the last received look. If no data has been received

before, no data is sent to the outputs.

Status Information

Status information about each of the inputs is

accessible under Home > Menu > Input A > Status

Information (Home > Menu > Input B > Status Infor-

mation). As a shortcut, the button on the le below

the respective input port can also be used to recall

this information. Further details about this menu are

explained on page 14 under DMX Input Monitoring

and Diagnostics.

Output Settings and Information

Linking Outputs to Inputs

Output ports can be linked to

one of the two inputs under

Home > Menu > Output N, where

N stands for the number of the

output. The number of each output is printed on

the le above each XLR output port. As a shortcut,

the button on the le below each output port

(button [1] – button [8]) can be used to access the

same menu.

From the menu depicted above, the navigation

buttons or the button on the le below the output

port can be used to change the universe to which

the output port is connected.
