### SHOWSTOPPER E-STOP OUTPUT <a href="#h.39mqbkg3j0gf" id="h.39mqbkg3j0gf"></a>

Each Stagehand and smart machine requires a direct connection to a Showstopper 3 Base or Showstopper 3 E-Stop Hub. These connections are made with a Neutrik 5-pin XLR cable. There’s no tech wizardry here, any 5-pin XLR cable will work as long as the polarity is correct. The 5-pin XLR cable is not a DMX signal, but rather it was chosen as a convenient cable that is prevalent in many venues so you should always be able to find a spare cable when needed.

Below is the pin-out for the Showstopper Emergency Stop output:
