Lampy512

This is one of the arguments my colleague is making but when you look at some of the PCBs them leg going to the fixture has some circuitry I assume to act as an active split to the fixture but I'm no expert.

Hello smart people. A colleague and I have been discussing the topic of passively splitting a DMX signal. I am strongly against passive splits for DMX. My colleague insists they are perfectly fine to use. I know that it will work but it isn't the recommended or "proper" way to do it. If possible I would like as in depth reason why or why not passive DMX splitters should be used as possible. We both are fairly smart people and have a good understanding of how DMX and rs-485 works. Any additions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all.
