How many DMX addresses does the D4-CX use?

The D4-CX occupies four consecutive DMX addresses. For example, if you set the starting address to 001, it will respond to channels 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Is this model different from the D3-CX or D5-CX?

Yes, the main difference is the number of channels. The D4-CX has four output channels, making it perfect for RGBW lighting, while the D3-CX has three (for RGB) and the D5-CX has five (for RGBCCT).

Condition	Brand New

The MiBoxer D4-CX is a professional-grade 4-Channel Constant Voltage DMX512 Decoder designed for sophisticated LED lighting control. Engineered specifically for applications requiring four independent channels, it is the ideal solution for driving RGBW LED strip lights, allowing for seamless color mixing and dedicated white light control. This decoder dmx512 unit reliably translates standard DMX512 signals into PWM signals for your low-voltage LEDs. With the added benefit of RDM (Remote Device Management) protocol, setup and configuration are streamlined, enabling bi-directional communication for remote addressing and status monitoring. Its robust 20A total output capacity ensures stable, flicker-free performance for extensive architectural, stage, and commercial lighting installations.

How to Control & Use This Controller

Ensure the power is off before wiring.
Connect your DC12V or DC24V LED power supply to the decoder's power input terminals (V+, V-). Ensure the voltage matches your LED strips.
Connect your LED strips to the output terminals. For an RGBW strip, connect the corresponding wires to R, G, B, W and the common positive to V+.
Connect the DMX signal from your DMX512 master console to one of the DMX IN ports (XLR, RJ45, or screw terminals).
Use the digital display and buttons on the decoder to set the desired DMX starting address. This decoder will occupy 4 consecutive addresses starting from the one you set.
Power on the system. You can now use your DMX console to control the connected LED strips.

⚠ Precautions

Always use a power supply with a voltage that matches your LED strips (12V or 24V).
Do not exceed the maximum load of 5A per channel or 20A total for the decoder.
Ensure all wiring connections are secure and polarities are correct to prevent damage.
Provide adequate ventilation around the decoder to prevent overheating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What kind of LED strips can I control with the D4-CX?

A:This decoder is ideal for 4-channel constant voltage strips like RGBW. You can also control RGB strips (using 3 channels), CCT tunable white strips (using 2 channels), or up to four independent single color LED strips.

Q: What is RDM and why is it useful?

A:RDM stands for Remote Device Management. It allows your DMX controller to communicate back and forth with the decoder, enabling you to set the DMX address and change settings remotely, which simplifies installation and maintenance.

Q: Can I use this decoder without a DMX console?

A:No, this is a DMX512 decoder and requires a DMX controller or DMX master to send it control signals. It does not have standalone modes.

Q: What type of LED power supply should I use?

A:You need a constant voltage DC12V or DC24V LED power supply. The wattage should be at least 20% greater than the total power consumption of all connected LED strips.
