that line one after the other and have a DMX terminator fitted at the 

end (120 ohm resistor between pins 2 and 3). You should not split 

the DMX lines using passive splitters (Y-splits) as this can mess up 

the data. 

You should connect a computer VDU monitor to the Pearl, which is 

plugged into the VGA port on the rear of the console.  

• 

The external VDU can be disabled and if so will show a 

“disabled” message. To enable it, switch to System mode and 

select [Display Setup] then press [External Display 

Disconnected]. The option will change to [External Display 

Connected] and the display will be enabled. 

• 

If you need to change the VDU resolution or settings, click on 

“Tools” at the very top of the screen and select “Control Panel”, 

then “External Monitor”, then select the option to match the 

resolution of your monitor. 

There are more details about setting up an external monitor, 

including troubleshooting help, in section 11.1.5 on page 115. 

The Touch Wing connects to the DVI port and the 9-pin D connector 

on the rear of the console, just above the panel with the rear 

USB/network sockets.  

You can connect an external keyboard and mouse to the pc 

connectors on the rear of the console if for some reason you don’t 

like the keyboard with touchpad in the drawer on the front. 
The console provides MIDI connections which can be used to connect 

MIDI timecode to the console for timecode-controlled cue lists.  
You can connect the console to a LAN (local area network) using the 

RJ45 socket on the rear. This allows you to back up the console to 

another machine, or to link to a DMX-over-ethernet system. 
A 3-pin XLR socket for a desk lamp is provided on the rear edge of 

the console. Suitable lamps are available from Avolites. The lamps 

are 12 volt, wired from pins 1 and 2 of the XLR.
