Hello,
I am pretty new to anything DMX and recently I undertook a little project in our theater spaces to add some new DMX control points.
Our building has two spaces, each with their own Lighting boards but with shared dimmers. We are able to switch control via a handy little toggle switch. I'm not sure what the wire runs look like yet.
My question has to do with adding new input points backstage so that we can hook up a small lighting board (or whatever) backstage for class projects and whatnot. I'm wondering what I might need to accomplish this. Will I need an optical splitter and just switch out boards when the occasion calls? Or am I way offline and all I need is to hi-jack into the middle of the run and put in a couple jacks backstage.
Thanks.
Ben
