Hi Goddard, and thanks for your additions to DMX512.

Could you please explain why you deleted the pinouts for the 3 pin XLR? 3 pin might not be part of the original standard, but it's increasingly common these days. For "typical wiki readers" I'd suggest that it's the most relevant for us to include here. Andy Dingley (talk) 20:00, 2 December 2011 (UTC)


 * re multi-byte data, I agree that this isn't part off the standard. Is there any sort of supplemental practice that has sprung up afterwards for how it's handled? (I've just not seen multi-byte). If there is some general consensus for this being big-endian, or whatever, then it might still be worth recording this (clearly labelled as being outside the main spec), especially if we can source it from one of the makers involved.

1 There is no standard for 3 pins, I have seen them wired several ways. 2 ESTA now PLASA has worked very hard to reduce the use of 3 pin XLRs and the standard speak directly against their use. Goddard dmx (talk) 12:32, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
