Default Re: Wholehog III and DMX Widgets

ETC's Eos is the same, no onboard DMX. Beyond the point on processing, it also allows you to make shorter runs of expensive DMX cable. It is a lot cheaper to run Cat5 from the console in the booth or FOH to a DMX node on stage or wherever. It is also cheaper and easier to manage and route a TCP/IP network and only break out to DMX where needed.

Soup or art?
