What is the DMX512 lighting control cable ?

What is the DMX512 lighting control cable (AES/EBU Digital audio Cable)? DMX cable signal is based on RS485 signal, a kind of industry-standard protocol after adjusting the transmit Baud rate. Usually there are one pair DMX512 lighting control cable and two pair DMX512 lighting control cable. Cable types that are appropriate for DMX512 usage [...]

What is the S-video and PS/2 Interface？

What is the S-video and PS/2 port? S-video (short for Super-video) is an older type of video signal that’s transmitted in varying electrical signals over wires to represent the original video. Newer video cables like HDMI transmit digital video signals in the form of numbers representing the original video signal. The benefit of [...]

What is 5 pin DIN connector?

A DIN connector is an electrical connector that was originally standardized in the early 1970s by the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), the German national standards organization. A DIN connector encompasses several types of cables that plug into an interface to connect devices. It has an architecture that is composed of multiple pins that [...]

What is the advantage of low-capacitance cable?

The propaudio ultra low capacitance cable lets you hear all the frequencies being produced by your guitar. High cable capacitance kills the high frequencies from your pickups, resulting in a muddy sound and the greater the signal loss. With cables that are paired, or coaxial, the two conductors with insulation or conductor and shielding [...]

What is Line Level?

A Line level is in the region of 0 dBV (1.0 volt), Line level signals have a much higher voltage output than mic or instrument level, usually somewhere around 750 millivolts.It is about 1,000 times as strong as a mic-level signal, so the two do not ordinarily use the same input. This signal travels [...]

What are twisted pair cables?

What are twisted pair cables? The twisted pair cable consists of a pair of insulated wires twisted together. It is a cable type used in telecommunication,audio,DMX for very long time. Cable twisting helps to reduce noise pickup from outside sources and crosstalk on multi-pair cables. Twisted pair cable is good for transferring balanced differential [...]
