Strand Outlook is native to the dimmer racks, adn the button controlers only activate programming in the dimmer rack.
(Strand Premiere is an outboard DMX producing house light control system, which connects to 1 of the mux inputs in the rack).
why can't you patch your Eos to the house lights? are they in separate racks (1 rack for theatrical dimmers, 1 smaller rack for house lights?)
Yes they are in separate racks.
so, can you jumper the DMX signal from 1 rack to the next? Won't be 5pin DMX connectors, but connected straight to the Strand Dimmer processing drawer.
Theatre rack: mux A input from console to rack. undo terminal screws, add new wire, tighten screws. Run new wire into next rack, into new connector, into Mux connector (A or B).
You will need to program that rack to recognize DMX on that mux input.
Is that workable? my 3 racks of theatre dimmers are linked this way (house lights included within these racks). Premiere controls my house lights, in Mux B inputs across the 3 racks.

I would have to look, But I think there is a 5 pin on the house light dimmer. I also have strand SLD dimmers for my rig with ETC nodes on them.
