Hi Al,
I see that you're pretty new here, so am going to assume that you don't already have a huge automated display. With that, I'm thinking you're asking a simpler question... Something like - "in a simple installation, do I need one transmitter for every receiver?".
No, you do NOT need to keep transmitters and receivers in "pairs". One transmitter will serve any number of receivers - up to the 512-channel limit of a DMX universe. You only need more than one transmitter in the following cases:
- when you exceed 512 channels,
- when you want multiple unsynchronized, simultaneous displays, or
- when the signal from the transmitter isn't strong enough to cover the whole display area (geographically).
Hope this helps.

One transmitter (TX) send out instruction to 512 channels or less. Dimmer controller component doesn't matter, as long it equal out to be 512 channels or less and it recieves DMX commands. Please shoot me down if i am wrong, I just want to make sure I understand.
Will there be a new version Receivers or is the current version still the standard?
The Express Receiver (EX/RX) that gets connected to the LYNX Dimmer
The Standalone Receiver (RX) which you plug with a patch cable to the Lynx Dimmer controller

EX/RX gets a LED upgrade, I don't remember anything else.
The RX & TX (ver 2)are now one unit. A jumper on board determines if its a TX or RX - the LEDs let you know what mode its in and then if sending/receiving DMX
Of course ver 2 units will talk with ver 1 units.
