Or how about "
DMX over
power" & get rid of this damn 3-pin-5-pin business!
Interference. But you could look at
Ethernet over
Power not to be confused with
POE.
You can go up to 1500’ with some of the higher end ones.
As long as you don’t put a
GFI or
Power strip in the path you could get this to work.
This is all theory as I don’t know what interference a
soca cable would have on something like this.
To further this theory you would essentially turn your PD into a giant
switch and anything connected to it at one end or another will be able to hook up to these switches.
TO go even further each out of a
soca could have one of these devices attached to the
power output in a smaller form and you could go right into the
fixture with
power and
Ethernet to whatever flavor of
dmx you have.
Netgear allows up to 64 nodes which in most rigs is more than enough. This is from Netgears version.
Personally I have used this through a 208v setup at about a 1000’ distance to run signal for an antenna out by the roadside needed to transfer internet and intranet between two sides of the street. I’ve also used it in apartments and 1960s built houses and newer built apartments.
I’m pretty surprised this tech has gotten looked over in all aspects. From ours all the way to residential. People would rather
call an Electrican and have hard lines when sometimes a 40-100$ product could do the job.
If there was one product to revolutionize and upgrade
DMX I think this would be it.
