Information About DMXSM-H81
The Leviton DMXSM-H81 is a professional DMX signal management merger designed to combine up to eight DMX512 inputs into a single output using Highest Takes Precedence (HTP) logic. Each input is optically isolated to protect connected lighting control systems from electrical interference and faults. Its rack-mountable 1U design, front-panel XLR connectors, and rear hardwire connections make it well-suited for permanent installations in entertainment, architectural, and event production environments. The unit includes a universal AC power supply (100–240 V to 12 VDC) and is built for reliable performance in complex control setups.
Key Features:
- Multi-Input Capacity: 8 × 5-pin XLR male inputs to 1 × 5-pin XLR female output for versatile control configurations.
- HTP Merging Logic: Ensures the highest active DMX value takes priority across all inputs.
- Optical Isolation: Protects all inputs against interference and voltage surges.
- Dual Connection Options: Front-panel XLR and rear-panel hardwire terminals for flexible wiring.
- Rack-Mount Design: 1U (19") rack-mountable chassis for easy integration into control racks.
- Universal Power Supply: Operates on 12–24 VDC with included 100–240 VAC to 12 VDC adapter.
- Durable Construction: Built for professional use with robust housing and dependable connectors.
- Standards Compliance: Fully compliant with DMX512 control protocol.
The DMXSM-H81 offers dependable, interference-free DMX signal merging, making it an essential tool for multi-console or redundant control setups in professional lighting systems.
