Hello -
I am an experienced lighting designer with many shows under my belt, but this upcoming week I have a venue that is asking me to use two moving lights in the show.
The venue is a theatre I am very familiar with. The board is an ETC Express 48/96 desk that runs a dmx512 into a controller box, which runs ethernet into ETCNet. Hopefully everyone knows what I mean.
Now the two moving lights are rentals. They are Robe 575E AT Lights that will be hung on the zero electric.
I want to make sure the way they are to be connected is correct. The first lamp will have a DMX512 cable running from it into the light control box, and then it has another cable running into the next instrument, and that instrument has a 120V ending adapter into it.
Now if this is correct, and I assign the proper DMX channels, I should be able to control the lights independently.
Is this all correct? Please correct me where I am wrong.
