Lighting Networking

With the modern ability to connect lighting rigs via network cable, lighting designers now have much more flexibility and options for their rigs. Unlike the days of running hundreds of feet of DMX cable, we can now run one CAT5 cable for the same amount of lights. Daniel and the DC Pro crew talk through the basic idea behind lighting networks, and discuss different cabling and different nodes that you can use to help increase your capacity in your network.
