DMX gear what do I need to make this work

I'm new to dmx lighting and i don't know what to buy. We don't have a lot of money to mess with so I need to find some realitivley cheap options we have a Element lighting console and i know that it's dmx capable but I was wonder if I want to be able to program each moving light individually would it work to get a dmx splitter and hook it up to the console and then connect the dmx splitter to the lights using the individual dmx transmitters plugged into the splitter and recievers plugged into the lights them self ? Any help would be great (were a school auditorium with an extremely tight budget)

    Using cables to connect fixtures is a lot cheaper by a big factor than using wireless dmx. And the connection is a lot more stable. I would advice you to only use cable first.

    You said you're using an Element. So it has two universes each 512 channels. So per universe you can use up to 36 moving head each using 14 channels.
