I heard from somebody that the american dmx is not the same as the europe dmx? Is this true?
I heard that the + and - are switched?
If it is true, how can I connect a american dmx fixture on european fixtures?

I asked our EU office if this is true, they said it is not. you should be fine.

Oké, thanks for checking! I already thought it wasn't true..
Some lighting companies reverse + and - on their fixtures, either across the board or on just certain models. It's a common enough problem that some ADJ hardware controllers have a reverse switch to address this problem. This issue can also be addressed by a phase reversing cable.
Other than that, DMX is DMX, it's a standard.
This is NOT to be confused with older European audio gear that uses Pin 3 hot as opposed to American(and now standard) Pin 2 hot. Of course, if you use all your gear phase reversed, does it really make a difference?
