Four quick DMX tricks for sucess:
1. Anything over 16 fixtures per universe is too much. Unless you’re using short jumpers and quality fixtures- then up to 32 fixtures before adding an Opto is technically acceptable.
2. Audio XLR is bad.. it carries the wrong impedance and the wrong type of shielding for data signal. That’s why companies sell audio XLR and “3 pin DMX cable”
3. Anything over 300 meters of quality shielded DMX requires an opto splitter to boost signal.
4. Using a fixture as an opto splitter (3 and 5 pin outputs) is a recipe for failure.
5. Dont blame the messenger- I don’t make the rules…technology does 🤷🏼♂️
Simply put, do it right and you’ll avoid lots of problems on show sites!
That is all ✌🏻
