Default Re: DMX help

Alright. So I got it figured out now.

DMX is just the SIGNAL that goes From the board, through the 5 pin XLR, and into the dimmer.

Now question two!

When talking about conventional fixures, the signal (DMX) goes through the 1 XLR cable, right? So after all (lets pretend our board has 30 channels) 30 channels on the board go into one xlr cable, how does it split up into each dimmer once it arrives where ever the dimmers are located?

and

When talking about moving fixtures, if we have 10 intelegents and one board for the intelegents, does each one require its own cable? Going out from the light board for intelegents?

For example, If im using a lightboard for intelegent lights, does it have 10 outputs for 10 different lights? or is there 1 output and somewhere along the lines it splits going to the different lights? or what?
