How to Light a Stage Network: Top 5 FAQs
1. What equipment is needed for a stage lighting network?
To set up a stage lighting network, you'll need DMX controllers, lighting fixtures, cables, and optionally, a lighting console or software. Ensure compatibility between devices for seamless control.
2. How do I connect multiple lights to a single DMX controller?
Use DMX cables to daisy-chain fixtures in a series, assigning each a unique address. Avoid exceeding the controller's channel limit (typically 512 channels per universe).
3. What’s the difference between DMX and Ethernet lighting networks?
DMX is a traditional protocol for direct lighting control, while Ethernet (e.g., Art-Net or sACN) enables faster, long-distance data transmission over IP networks, ideal for large setups.
4. How can I troubleshoot signal loss in a lighting network?
Check cable integrity, terminator resistors, and address conflicts. Use opto-splitters or boosters for long runs, and ensure proper grounding to avoid interference.
5. What software is best for controlling stage lighting networks?
Popular options include MA Lighting’s MA2/3, Chamsys MagicQ, and ETC Eos. Choose based on your setup’s complexity and compatibility with hardware.
