Equipment Summary
Lighting
Control
Ents currently has 2 primary boards, and 1 piece of software.
Routing
Lighting information is sent around our venue using ArtNet (excluding showXpress which outputs DMX directly). This ArtNet information is fed into ArtNet Nodes in the power room which break the signal into 12 universes of lighting information which runs along DMX cables. These then snake out into the rest of the venue running to each of the locations. Here there is also a merger which combines the signals from showXpress and the relevant DMX cable from the lighting boards (once converted from ArtNet). Finally, at the edge of the stage, we have two DMX splitters which break that cable into a larger number of connections.
