DMX Inputs and DMX Mapping
Posted: Sat Jun 10, 2023 2:24 pm
Hi!
I would not say that I am a beginner in lightning stuff, but somehow I've still got my problems
So, I have DVC4 GOLD laying around here and I am currently trying to get to work DMX mapping with it.
Software for that is DasLight 4 or 5, doesn't matter in the end, I guess.
The Plan:
Connect another DMX controller (cheap China piece, 16x8 channel controller from lixada, only 8 faders etc., you know what I mean) to the DVC as an Input, to get control over some of the parameters in the software. Let's just say I want my fader for channel 1 on the lixada-Controller to control my first DMX channel in the Software, e.g. just the dimmer of a standard single-channel lamp.
What do I have to do, hardware- and software-sided? I tried connecting the harware controller to the DVC and setting the connected DMX port as Input, but I do not get any signal - neither in the software itself, nor in the hardware manager's Input monitoring. But the device sends signal, that's what I am sure of.
Please help me guys
