Hello everyone. This is my first post on this board. I just happened upon these forums while doing a Google search this evening. It looks pretty cool.
As an fyi, I am just a part time lighting guy who works mainly on weekends, and I have a regular job during the week. I bought my first moving heads about 2 1/2 years ago, and now my rig has grown faster than my knowledge. I never realized there would be such a demand for stage lighting in bars and small venues. So I apologize ahead of time if any of my questions or statements sound noobish.
With all that being said here is my question. Is there any real advantage to running dmx to your hazer? A hazer I picked up tonight has dmx capability. I never have really seen the point of running a hazer on anything but a timer. As far as I have been concerned it was only one more thing to worry about in the dmx chain for no real benefit. My distributor mentioned to me that you think that way until you try it and then you will never go back. Do you all feel this way?
