... 3) Going way off the deep end. In theory you could get some
DMX to RJ45 adapters, dump all your
DMX cable and run
CAT5 everywhere instead.
Instead of a splitter run it through a router. That said, I've never done this to that extreme. I setup a small
system this way and it worked great, but that was just a
cat5 and
DMX adapter daisy chain from the
console through four wall mounted
dimmer packs.
I'm not sure about the router part of it, I would want confirmation from some of the geniuses around here first, but
in theory I think it will work.
