Hello
I have a question about a lighting upgrade we are implementing. My goal is to make sure we have what we need to connect these new fixtures to our current system. I was hoping someone might offer my some input on that... I think I am close, I just want to make sure.
We ordered 16 Chauvet 915FC Fresnals, and 7 Chauvet Ovation B2805-FC Cyc lights.
Accessories for connectivity that I ordered include, Powerstream 4 power connectors, ETC Two-Port DMX/RDM Output Gateway (NET3) as well as DMX cables and Neutrik power cables and some barndoors for the Fresnals, safety cables, clamps, etc....
It seems that I can daisy-chain the Fresnals and the Cyc lights with DMX and power. From my understanding I can patch a circuit on our ETC Element console to provide power only (non-dim) and then I can use that circuit to power the instruments. Just like an intelligent light.
I do want to make sure I have the correct DMX equipment. I am not 100%. I know the gateways should be fine and talk with our ETC Element Console. We already have them and I am familiar with the setup and programming. I know that I need ETC Net3 Gateways in order to go into a 2nd universe. I ordered those. I am assuming that I can run a cable from a Net 3 Gateway to the first instrument and then daisy chain each instrument to the next.
Question? Do I have everything that I need? Any input on missing equipment or other issues that I may contend with?
Due to purchasing procedures, I cannot get equipment replacements or additions quickly. Our summer orders are upon us so I want to make sure everything is ordered so when I return in August, it is ready to roll out.
Your feedback is appreciated.
