Using Lynx with a DMX console
« on: December 16, 2010, »
Has anyone used the Lynx with a DMX console, like the ones used in Stage and Music shows?
I'm curious as it seems it can be done quite easily but I don't have a Lynx(yet) or DMX Console to experiment with.
Any info is appreciated.

Yes you can use a Lynx with a DMX console, Any Lynx controller can be used with any device that outputs a DMZ stream.
You may need to make a set of adapter cables as the Lynx controllers use RJ45 connectors.

Thanks Bill for the quick reply.
I wonder if folks here use the Lynx for this type of activity versus just animated Christmas light diplays?

Just remember, per the site sign up agreement that the Lynx line is not to be used for any commercial events.

Yes, OK, was just curious as to the viability of using a dmx console as a controller.
