Subject: [LCtalk] dmx routing
From: Eric van Duin

I am in need of some information... For an event on november 1 in "het paard" in The Hague, Netherlands i need to connect a lanbox LCX to a Hog1000. I need to do this because we are short on faders on the hog. The lanbox will control all the stage lights, about 20 single dmx channels. The Hog will control all the lights on the floor: 18 moving lights and about 240 single dmx channels. So this is about 220 dmx channels.

-Has the delay caused by frame alignment have a max of 1 frame?
-Will there be any delay due to internal processing in the lanbox (the dmx channels 'in' on the lanbox stage)?
-Is there any way i can sync the lanbox and hog so the first delay is eliminated? (worldcloack, midi?)
-Has the hog1000 a dmx 'in' port, and if so, does a change of order (lanbox connected to hog instead of hog to lanbox) has a positive effect on delay times?
-Shouldn't we be doing this at all? e.g., is the trouble this is causing us more than creating a separate dmx line to the stage? Splitting dmx lines will be difficult because we use a ETC sensor rack and 6 788LD dimmers. Floor and stage lights a mixed on all dimmers...

Thanks, Eric
