Re: Starlight Experience video details new show
I believe the light board at my church has a DMX-in 5-pin, though we only use standard 3-pin XLR cabling because we only run 32 channels right now. We're looking at going to such a high capacity board because we currently have two miniMacs that take up...12 individual channels, and would like to use more of the intelligent lighting systems in the future. Obviously, our (possible) 64 channel board wouldn't be the best solution versus one of the newer boards, even though a couple thousand channels would be overkill (of course, our new tech booth features as many outlets as a normal large house, about 140 total!). According to what I understand from the theater lighting company we consult with out of Indianapolis, we would need to convert to using the standard 5-pin DMX, as the 3-pin XLR would not be able to handle our data loads.
I would be surprised if for what they are doing for the SE, they aren't using 5-pin DMX. It just seems like too much to handle with standard 3-pin XLR from what I understand and took away from that video.
And this is exactly why I wanted to get an audio or lighting tech position last year. I love this stuff.

Three things you need to fix anything in the universe: duct tape, WD-40, and a hammer. Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't, WD-40 if it doesn't move and should, and the hammer as the last resort.
