We just finished the development portion of adding Art-Net to VenueMagic. We're using the Enttec Art-Net adapter with reliable results. In addition... Did you know you can use Cat5 cabling in permanent DMX installations? We were working on stuff this week and noticed that Wikipedia now mentions it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMX512#Cabling

Yep, sure did. Ben at NLFX had me use it when I did the install at my Church. Much more economical for the long runs.

I need one very badly. I'm only doing tripods this year. 2 of them most of the time with 8-10 DMX lights. Anything else under 100 bucks? Crazy deal!

Steve LeBlanc · Mar 11, 2010

I'm thinking for uplight apps as well...I saw somewhere s well an ADJ dmx controller for less than 80 bucks....designed just for parcans.. two of them...in the corners with 2 splitter would give you customization of each wall

I might have been out on the sales floor doing my job that day :sqwink:

I guess I gotta speak up a bit more often so it actually looks like I really know the industry.

LOL.... funny guy. Ben, I have to tell you... I've met all kinds of folks in this industry and many love to recite their resumes... some just look foolish in the process. You, my friend, actually know what you're doing. So for what it's worth, you get my stamp of approval. LOL.

I spent some time on the phone with the Enttec US sales manager recently and he was really excited. My take, It has two 3 pin xlr connections and two 5 pin xlr connections. If you need to use all 4 you have to buy converters of one type or the other.

Obviously it was designed for use with the entec usb box, as it has a 5 pin out....Nice that they put the 3 pin outs on the "out" side...

anzyxx; there is also this:

That's the one we sell the most of by far. Good unit for the price, no doubt!

Just added that one to my wish list at NLFX...

I presume Ben can get pretty close to that Enttec price :sqwink:

Yes, it's good! But I'm doing very well playing with Freestyler. Too many hours spent developing new fixtures...and lot's of fun!
That Chauvet DMX spliter will be very handy. I will be able to hookup my facade, the head table uplighting and 2 tripods in no time. What I was waiting for :sqerr:

Steve LeBlanc · Mar 15, 2010

This would be good for a wall that's a bit far to run a line....It's around 70 bucks or so with sound active....
