Don't ask me. While pre-1979 technology (My cut off date for technology), wrong union bub as it were. I do the electrics not the electronics. I can tell you how to
wire up your
Cinch Jones, who makes them these days and what part number they are. But in doing a controller you get into
dimmer pots and stuff like that. Can do it but don't do - have enough problems/60 hour weeks while specilizing in my own field.
I have converted a few CD-80's to
DMX and do own my own dimmers, light board in
MPX plus a converter all from NSI. Using the converter alone requires me to visit our head electronics guy so he can tell me which bridges to make in the converter. As long as I get out the
manual for the board or dimmers on the other
hand, I can normally figure out at least
MPX channels. No idea on how to program cues on the board on the other
hand. This much less how to assign
DMX channels in general. Don't bother telling me, if I wanted to know - I would. Not stuff I have to learn or do as it were. Too many other suckers, urr people that better know such things as assigning channels about than the need for me to learn such things. Others do the
DMX, I'll
wire up the 27
DMX control
universe multi-pin plugs.
I don't even touch RJ-45 type plugs.
On the other
hand on a normal 6
dimmer Analog pack, 1-6 are
power, seven is not used and eight is common. At least from memory. Eight pin
Cinch Jones, not six pin unless some form of odd four
channel dimmer.
