I was a lighting designer for several years and in that time in don't think I ever saw a proper 5-pin DMX512 connector. Even in venues with millions in house lights, the connection backstage to the house was XLR.
- yuye 1y agoThe proper DMX512 connector is XLR, though? The 5-pin variant, that is. I worked as a tech at a stage for a short while. We always used XLR5 for lighting and XLR3 for audio.
- terinjokes 1y agoYes, I only saw 3-pin XLR for DMX512, while being aware of 5-pin XLR as "correct". Everything from the lighting console, to dimmer packs and moving heads, to the aforementioned connection to house lights. This was 2009-2013. Maybe it was regional?
