The Marconi Wireless DMX Transmitter (Marconi TX) sends all 512 channels (one universe) of DMX512 using 2.4 GHz spread spectrum technology. DMX512 input is on a 10" pigtail fitted with a 5-pin male XLR connector with a chassis mounted 'through' connector provided. For highest reliability, the through connector should only be used to run a short distance to a DMX splitter or other isolation device. This is because a cable fault on the through connector may corrupt the input signal at the Marconi TX and hence the transmitted signal as well. If the Marconi TX is plugged directly into the DMX source (console, splitter, computer, etc.) it is not necessary to terminate the through connector. If a cable is placed between the Marconi TX input pigtail and the DMX source, the through connector should be terminated.

Marconi products use the W-DMX system (invented by Wireless Solutions in Sweden) which allows up to 16 transmitters and any number of receivers to be used simultaneously in a single venue. Since any W-DMX receiver can listen to any Marconi transmitter, there has to be a way to tell each receiver which transmitter to listen to. This is accomplished by Assigning or Linking the W-DMX receiver to the Marconi transmitter. Transmitter assignment information is held in the receiver's non-volatile memory. If the user has only one W-DMX transmitter (or keeps his systems separate), the configuration process described below will only have to be done once for each receiver.

    To assign (link, bind, etc.) a W-DMX receiver to a Marconi TX:
  1. - Both the Marconi TX and W-DMX receiver must be powered up and within range of each other.
  2. - On the W-DMX receiver, press and hold the configuration button for 5 seconds. This button may be labeled CONFIG, LINK, ASSIGN, FUNCTION, etc. depending on the manufacturer. This will unassign the W-DMX receiver from any other transmitter.
  3. - Using a paper clip, momentarily press and release the recessed CONFIG button on the Marconi TX. The Marconi transmitter will then broadcast a signal telling all unassigned W-DMX receivers, to assign themselves to this transmitter.
