Smaller local theatre is wanting to add to existing DMX locations, mainly because for some recent shows they have been renting moving lights and 300' of DMX to string between.
In a new build its somewhat more obvious that having a node drop on every electric is desired. But what about when you're retrofitting?
I'm thinking about other spaces that were either temp or perm and sometimes we'd install an opto and dmx to a couple of common locations.
If this particular theater only has one node drop, how do you decide when to add a switch and more nodes vs an opto and run DMX?
This question could apply to any existing theatre or even corporate events.
How do you decide?
Thanks!
