Hi everyone,
I wont be implementing this for the production I currently am working on because it is too late, but I had the thought the other day and was wondering if it was possible. We have three moving set pieces that need to have four controllable channels each on them. Boat batteries and wireless DMX were prohibitively expensive. Right now we have a bundle with power and data going to each unit. Unfortunately this means that the deck electricians have to, in the dark, connect a 5 pin data cable and an edison power cable. I was wondering if it would be possible to pigtail on some kind of eight pin connector that would combine both the data and power onto one plug in order to make it easier to connect and disconnect quickly?
