Hi there,
I'm preparing for a short-run show (3 days) for which we will be renting some DMX-controlled lighting equipment. The venue has an older non-DMX lighting system already installed and we'd like to also use these fixtures from the same console if possible.
For a temporary setup, would it work to have the house fixtures connected to our rental dimmers, which would be connected to outlets which run through the existing non-DMX dimmers if we put them all to 100%?
Basically, the thought is this:
Fixture --> Rental Dimmer Pack --> House Dimmer (@ 100%) --> Hydro/Power
If this is possible, it'd save us some time and extra cabling but we can work around it if it's not possible or would cause issues. I was just thinking about this to save time and extra work.
