Currently I am employed at a theatre that owns what I believe to be a none standard light board. The light board is atleast thirty years in age and was constructed by Strand Lighting. Instead of have a dmx output it has a four pin output. This is then plugged into a four pin wall outlet. Sadly they have an ETC Ion board sitting in their closet because the cannot plug the dmx into the wall. I do not know if the old light board runs on a whole different technology then dmx or just a no-standardize version of dmx. What must be down to see if this Ion can be used without purchasing a whole new dimmer system. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
