ok i am wondering if this will work or not or if i need to do something different?
i have 3 LOR boxes and i want to add 4 lynx express to the show and run LOR.
i am thinking of this set up and want to know if it will work.
ctbo8- ctb08d- ctb16d- idmx with adaptors (seebelow)- to lynx - lynx- lynx- lynx then to the rs 485. will this work or do i need to do somthing differnt? if so does any know what?
i know i would need both male and female adaptors. if this doesnt make sense maybe someone who has better dmx knowledge would know? sorry i just want to get this setup in my head so iknow what to buy to make this all work.( and convince the wife.)
Given that you show an iDMX, I take it you plan on using the LOR software?
If so, you need your RS-485 converter to go to your LOR controllers and the IDMX. Then from the iDMX, you run cables to the Lynx Express boxes. I can't speak to if those adapters you link to use the same DMX on RJ-45 pinout as the Lynx boxes or not.
Also, note that with the iDMX, you can only use LOR effects of dimming, shimmer, and twinkle on a total of 64 downstream channels at once. You can have more channels with these effects not on the same iDMX, or at different times on the same iDMX.
