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 DMX splitter or network node for larger setups.
2. How do I connect DMX lighting fixtures to a network?
Use DMX cables to daisy-chain fixtures from the controller. Ensure proper termination with a 120-ohm resistor to prevent signal degradation.
3. What’s the difference between DMX and Ethernet lighting networks?
DMX is a dedicated lighting protocol, while Ethernet (e.g., Art-Net or sACN) uses IP networks for larger, more flexible setups with higher data capacity.
4. How do I troubleshoot signal loss in a stage lighting network?
Check cable integrity, termination, and avoid exceeding the 32-fixture limit per DMX universe. Use opto-splitters for long runs.
5. Can I control stage lights wirelessly?
Yes, wireless DMX systems exist, but ensure minimal interference and latency for professional use. Test thoroughly before live events.
