G+_Todd Proffitt Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Just finished the episode on DMX lighting. I thought is was very informative and was most excited because it in my field. If Know How does another episode on lighting here are some things you could discuss. 1. DMX needs termination. Most likely the lights that were used in the episode were self terminating. A DMX terminator is relatively cheap http://www.amazon.com/Hosa-DMT-414-DMX512-XLR3M-Terminator/dp/B000PO1H94 or you can make one by soldering a 120 ohm resistor between pins 2 and three. 2. If you want to control each light separately you will need to give it a different starting address or channel. When dealing with multiple lights, get a good app to help with the math. I like DMX calc by West side systems http://www.westsidesystems.com/f-pl/f-dmx/dmx.html 3. If you start to discuss lighting the people in podcasts a good discussion would be on color temperature and the challenges in blending lights that produce different color temperatures. Again Great Episode. http://www.amazon.com/Hosa-DMT-414-DMX512-XLR3M-Terminator/dp/B000PO1H94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
