Hi,
I want to run a single length 360' feet (120 meters) of dmx cable (actually high quality mic cable with a dmx terminator which i will be using at the end) for a season run install, it wont be permanant, just for a month and then ill have to store them till the next season at maybe a different venue.
This line of 360' is ofcourse made of certain lengths to accomodate 10 moving heads and 10 scrollers on the line. Will my line be reliable with 20 fixtures spread out over a length of 360' ?
Or is it better to split the signal (http://www.ebay.com/itm/XLR-cannon-...485?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a635bc005) at the beginning and then send one run for the backdrop trusses and one for the foreground lighting. This method reduces 70' on my 360' cable run so it will only be 290'. Would this make any difference at all ?
Regards
