Hey guys this is Martin again from SIRS-Electronics.
And today I wanted to talk about our DMX LED strip by SIRS-E.
It is a very versatile product and you could do a lot of cool stuff with it.
I am going to show you how easy it really is to set it up.
You can use this in small scale installations.
You can use pieces from it at a time or you can use multiple full strip lengths at a time.
To create really cool and vivid effects.
Here we've got lay out a single SIRS-E DMX LED strip it's a 5 meter roll.
And we are going to be using it with the MADRIX NEO.
Which is a MADRIX software and it is what we generally use the strip with.
Because of the simplicity of the software and how easy it really is to set everything up.
With this strip you need two 5 volt power supply.
Here we are using a 40 watt 5 volt power supply.
This come with a ¼ inch DC plug connector on the end.
You must snip that off and expose the wires on both of them.
So that you will be able to splice them to the strip.
This strip has two positive and negative leads on each end of the strip.
Here is roll up but there but each one is on each end.
And the strip also has a DMX 3 pin XLR on this end over here.
So once you have spliced your power supply and your strip and all that.
Make sure that the power is off on the power supplies.
And what you want to do is you want to splice them on to the strips.
Generally you'll want to solder this into place and use some heat shrink for a nice
permanent hold.
But for now we are just going to splice them in and use some trusty old electrical tape.
To hold it just for testing purposes.
So you will see on the power supply there are two wires.
And one of them has white lettering on.
The one with the white lettering on it that will be your positive wire.
So we will do the white lettering wire with the red wire on the strip.
Like I said make sure your power supplies are off.
When you are doing this you don't want to short anything up.
So splice both of them into place.
Get some electrical tape pieces here.
Repeat the process for both sides.
This strip is powered on both ends for voltage drop issues.
So like that you won't have any color variations or anything like that.
So it is good to power it from both ends.
Specially if you are going to be running a lot of white light effects on the strip.
Where all the RGB LEDs are light up.
So.. we do this here.
And some black tape again.
Just protect it.
To make sure you don't short anything out.
Ok.
So now that we have that done.
Since we are using the MDRIX NEO for now.
The MADRIX NEO has a 5 pin XLR output on the output of the interface.
And our strip is 3 pin XLR.
So we are going to use a 3 to 5 pin adapter here.
One end goes on the strip and the other end goes on the interface itself.
And now that we have our signal connected.
We want to turn on our power supplies.
So make sure that they are on.
You will see the little blue lights turn on meaning they are on.
And everything should be ready to go.
We have previously patched our software here for the strip.
It's 120 RGB pixels and that is what we put on the MADRIX software.
And it does it in less than 30 seconds it just patches everything up and you are ready
to go.
You won't have to program LED by LED.
So now that we have everything going on we just put up the signal here.
And then you see it is already running it is in a color scroll effect.
So now you know.
The cool thing about MADRIX is that it has a bunch of preset effects already on there.
And you can change the speed of them.
You can change colors.
Let's see let's put another effect here to show you guys.
There is this effects called 'Graph Effect' So there is a bunch of different ones.
You can change the speed, the color all of that.
This strip is only available at SIRS-E.com.
It's the original DMX LED strip.
You know like I said straight DMX input on to the strip.
We sell everything that you need for it to get it running.
