How to Light a Stage Network: Top 5 FAQs
1. What is a stage lighting network?
A stage lighting network connects lighting fixtures, controllers, and dimmers using protocols like DMX512 or Ethernet-based systems (e.g., Art-Net, sACN) for synchronized control during performances.
2. How do I set up a DMX lighting network?
Start with a DMX controller, daisy-chain fixtures using XLR cables, and terminate the line with a DMX terminator to prevent signal reflection. Ensure addresses match fixture configurations.
3. What’s the difference between DMX and Ethernet lighting systems?
DMX uses dedicated cables and is limited to 512 channels per universe, while Ethernet systems (e.g., Art-Net) leverage IP networks for higher channel counts and longer distances.
4. How do I troubleshoot stage lighting network issues?
Check cable integrity, verify addressing, ensure proper termination, and test fixtures individually. Use a DMX analyzer for signal debugging.
5. Can I mix wireless and wired lighting networks?
Yes, wireless DMX transmitters/receivers can integrate with wired systems, but ensure minimal latency and interference for critical performances.
