I just worked with a vendor for a large exhibit space for a
theatre festival. There was no
DMX cable run to any of their
LED units, MAC700s, scrollers, strobes or conventionals. Only the one short run from the
console to the transmitter. There was never an issue of
drop out, only that of a small
lag from the
console sending out the instruction and the device starting to execute (300-400 mS or so). We did not get the chance to see how distance effects this.
