I have been a long-time browser of Control Booth forums, and always learn something new to use in my shows.
But today I need help.
I have an ETC wall panel with "Console Input" "RFU" & "ETCNet" (NOTE: it is called ETCnet1 now...)
I need to get a DMX signal out of this panel. Is that possible? The reason is, the panel is located on the stage wing, so it is the nearest most logical place to plug in a DMX controlled fixture I want to use. My console is plugged in BOH, but only uses "Console Input" on its panel.
The venue was originally wired with ETC stuff and an Expression 24/48, and had an RFU, all of which plugged into the three jacks. However, they now use an ETC Element. Someone recommended it as an "upgrade" for use with newer DMX controlled fixtures and LED lighting (venue has none), failing to notice that there are NO (zero, none, nada) DMX outputs anywhere else in the venue, so unless it is possible to get DMX from the 3 jacks mentioned above, I will need to run lots of extra wire.
Any thoughts?
