DocBrown86 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Hey gang. I have 112 DMX dimmers that I use, as I only discovered LOR this past year (have yet to use it), and used to use PC Stage. Because of that, I will not yet own any LOR equipment, except for the software, and the iDMX deal. I wont be purchasing the iDMX until October, but need to start re-programming my show on LOR. I have set the music sequence with 1 channel, added a device, iDMX, and set that to 112 channels.This is where I need help confirming that I am doing this correctly. Now that I have done this, I will plan on using and renaming those 112 iDMX channels appropriately. Am I good so far? Or am I already screwing up...?I am seeing some major issues upon trying to hook all this up, as it seems its more user friendly for their own equipment, and not really for a bunch of different DMX devices.

zman Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 When you get your iDMX, the first thing you will do is to re-ID it. They used to come out of LOR set as device E0. Re-ID it to someing that does not end in "zero". This way you will be set up for full DMX512 support. As an example, my iDMX's are ID'd A1 & A2.Your sequences will be then set up to you iDMX controller, in my example above:A1 - 1 to 112What you haven't said is how those 112 DMX dimmers are divvy'd up. Are they single units, in multiples of 8 or 16?On my site in the How-To is a decent DMX/LOR primer. Not sure if it will help you or not at this stage.Straight DMX is DMX. You require comms and power. They are separate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
