Awesome explanation! Thanks

[@leonardomorenoshannon6124]

Like midi but with lights?

[@natanzav338]

Is it possible to connect a group of DMX fixtures without using a controller if you set them all to sound-active or automatic mode?

[@Qwayke2000]

can you make video how to setup dmx? how to address lamps and how to find out how many features lamp have...

[@pwredwtx]

Addressing and features are fixture-specific. They can be found in the manuals.
