looking to getting into dmx


Dan Lott

Recommended Posts

Looking to get into the dmx world a little and just wondering what i need and how it connects to lor. As i think it is a dmx controller hooked to the lor network. I dont know. Also looking to do somthing with some lazers is that even possible. If you have any insight or can help me in any way that would be awsome. Thanks.

Good morning

Dan

I do use dmx with LOR

I utilize thee LOR network for the controlllers

and use the LOR IDMX1000 for the dmx equipment

was very successful this year http://www.vimeo.com/groups/30771

attached is my LOR network

and the second pic is the DMX network

I am a nut case when documenting but you will

notice on the dmx pic the LOR address and the dmx address

Hey Dan

forgot to mention lasers

I have two lases -non dmx

one laser dmx

the dmx unit was not used for 2009 -- not enough time to program

the other 2 units have pre-programmed routines

i use x10 controlled by LOR to turn those units on when i want

x10 is not good for timing critical events but to turn

on the laser and let them run their programs it works great

will be getting into the dmx laser later this year

Hey Frank

Was looking for a video of the laser but I couldnt find it. I am thinking I want to add one which I can control the head with DMX.

Also I can help you with posting your pictures if you want to pm me.

Dan, on my website is a Basic DMX presentation that can help you out as well.

With the lasers, don't permits need to be submitted to the FDA and possibly the FAA depending on where you are at in terms of the flight paths to airports?

Look at Charles Belchers and Dr. jones sites. They both are significant DMX users in Christmas displays. Also the latest Planet Christmas Magazine has an article on lasers as well. Charles contributes to that magazine also.

Frank nice job with the layout documentation.

It's a lot easier then you think. Once you get the hang of it you will be just fine. Everyone has issues figuring out LOR at first, then they are experts in no time. DMX is the same way.

Charles I like the way you think. That was too funny.

However, with that said, I am of the same mind as Greg. Although I won't need a full 512 in 2010, all my growth is in DMX and the day is quickly coming.
