Well thanks for the quick reply. Because I was reading up on the DM2512R, it was saying you can either use it in HTP, Backup, or Merge. But what I was thinking of using for is, because I am getting MyDMX I was going to have my DMX70 as a backup in case something goes wrong during an event. Either that or like my earlier example has stated using the two consoles and merging them. But the splitter part was what I was wondering about after the merge, because I am going to invest in Wireless DMX units so I am not running dmx lines to each different setup then looping through to another setup. I figure the splitter would be easier with the WDMX then to run loops.
