I'm new to DMX, and theatrical lighting in general. My application is slightly different than most, and I feel that a DMX system may be overkill. I'm trying to setup a lighting control system for a Masonic Lodge, the system will have 8 distinct zones. Most under 500W, one at ~2000W, all are incandescent. Ideally I would like to have the ability to program "scenes" where I would press one button and a few zones would dim, brighten etc. (Think three color bulbs, blue, red, yellow brightening and dimming to create a sunrise).
From my prior research I'm sure that this is what DMX is designed for. To control this, I need to have a simple handheld controller, touchpad etc, where I could press a button for each scene. It seems like this is the more difficult thing to find.
I would like to go with DMX as it seems like it'll be around for a bit. I would like to use a technology that is sustainable as the years go on. I installed a Leviton system, but as parts broke, I learned that the system was obsolete.
