Hi!
I've done a few bits of work in theatre before so I understand the basics but for my school show my teacher has asked me to help rig and as I've never set up an full show before using DMX I'm a little confused so was hoping someone could help me!
Am I right in thinking that I using a dmx cable, I plug that into the desk then into a dimmer and then from the dimmer I daisy chain the dimmers till I reach that last one and then link the dimmers up to the fixtures using dmx cable?Or am I completely wrong?
Any help will be appreciated! Specifically help on how to kind of link the whole system up of what cables to use.Or if anyone has any good, clear diagrams?
Also, I was wondering, how do I plug my console into a dimmer if the dimmer is far away? Is there an inbuilt system? As far as I know, next to where the lighting desk goes there is a panel on the wall with lots of sockets which look like dmx cables can be plugged into, will they be connected to the dimmers?I know that may be hard to answer since you don't know my set up but if you understand thanks! Haha
