Hi,

Do any of you guys know where I can find a DMX splitter/optoisolator?

Several clubs have more than one DMX feed for the same universe (like 1 going to moving heads and one going to scanners), and I am looking for something so I can adapt to that using the Compuware (which only has 1 dmx out)...

I think ADJ made one but it is disconitnued... Any ideas on cheap ones? 2 or 4 outputs would be fine...

Support, where did you get that figure from?

The official DMX specifications (as far as I have seen from ESTA) dictate a maximum official distance of 300m, roughly 1000ft.

DMX should ALWAYS be terminated, regardless of distance.

Anyways, the size of the lead has nothing to do here... I might be going to a different club each night and many have more than one dmx feed, which is both logical and good, IMHO, because it reduces your vulnerability when one feed has a problem...

Oh well, it looks like it will be VERY difficult to get a decent splitter for less than a fortune... Frowner
that was off the top of my head I mixed it with balanced audio signal. 2 things, 1-in most clubs you wont be near the 1000ft run even with the extra extension. 2- If you are doing more than one club, $300 should not break the bank. Check with an Elation dealer and you should find a lower price.
