What is an ILDA connector?
ILDA describes a data transmission protocol developed by the International Laser Disyplay Association for transferring image data between laser control systems and laser projectors. An ILDA connector is the standard connector for show laser lights to connect the laser display with an ILDA cable to the laser control device.
The connector is a 25 pin DB-25 connector:
| Pin 1 | x-axis scanner, positive signal. Difference of 10V |
| Pin 2 | y-axis scanner, positive signal. Difference of 10V |
| Pin 3 | intensity/brightness, positive signal. Difference of 5V |
| Pins 4 and 17 | Interlock. Linking of both enables output |
| Pin 5 | red intensity, positive signal. Difference of 5V |
| Pin 6 | green intensity, positive signal. Difference of 5V |
| Pin 7 | blue intensity, positive signal. Difference of 5V |
| Pin 8 | deep blue intensity, positive signal. Difference of 5V |
| Pin 9 | yellow intensity, positive signal. Difference of 5V |
| Pin 10 | cyan intensity, positive signal. Difference of 5V OR: DMX512 IN; positive signal (Showeditor, Showcontroller, ShowNET and Phoenix interfaces). |
