Two DMX sources, 1 Output, can I use a DMX splitter
So I have some questions on the use of a DMX splitter. I have two sources of DMX for my RIG, Hog PC, and a Hog Desk. Can I hook up both sources to a DMX splitter, and then output to 1 single output at the same time? Or would both units counter-act each other and cause DMX hell? I am trying to run some cues off of the Laptop, and then be able to switch to the Desk, without hooking, un-hooking tables DMX cables, is this possible?
"I still have some shows programmed into to a older system, and have not yet re-created the shows to Wholehog system yet. So I was looking for a quick, and dirty way to incorporate all three devices, without switching cables. HTP sounds like it would really mess with my LED, and conventioal lighting without some extra programming!"
Fleenor also makes an excellent Passive A/B switch if you are simply wanting the ability to switch back and forth between desks without having to unplug and re-plug, it can also be useful for reprogramming shows between two different desks... Old desk running the old show, new desk being programmed, switch back and forth to compare the looks.
