Greetings. I wasn't sure of the proper forum but I figured I couldn't go wrong on the porch with my first post. As a new member and someone who plans on pursuing the hobby, I searched other threads for an answer to my questions but was unsuccessful in digging one up, so I thought I would post it here and see what responses were generated. I looked around and just wanted to confirm with someone experienced in building an animation system that what components I think I will need are correct.
If I were to build a 128 channel wireless system, and I know that a multitude of possibilities exist, but would the components I have selected work and be a complete working system:
-Program for Running the Animation (Vixen)
-Dongle (1)
-Wireless DMX Transmitter (1)
-Lynx Express 8 Units
-Wireless DMX Receiver 8 Units
Obviousl requirements of power for the 8 Express units, computer, and the lights to be displayed, however I am centering on the animation system itself, am I missing something ??
Please feel free to critique and make suggesstions. One thing I would love to see on this site, as a newbie, would be a section dedicated to member system builds, detailing DIY components, commercial products, software, # channels, lights, ect. I think this would definately help a newbie to the hobby by showing what components are required to build a particular size show and help in budget planning by comparing componenets and prices. Thanks for the help in advance.
