minimac Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 hi there I would like to get a demux with three Bleecon connector (in) and one DMX (out) , what are the best options at the cheapest price? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 That would be a multiplexer not a demux (demultiplexer), they are not very commen and have there problems. What exactly do you want it for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimac Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 well I want to run my fatfrog(z88) from a amdram setup. this is basicly 3 eltec 1300 dimmers with leads and bleecon conectors on the end.(3 in total) is there any way of putting these three onto one conector? and then into a demux? or is this not what I need? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Don't think you will find anything cheeper than the 24ch behringer DMX lighting desk, (about £150) but ISTR that maplin were doing a kit that might help (though it would take a fair amount of tweaking to do exactly the job you want....)

robloxley Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Yes, it sounds like a demux is what you need - with a DMX in and 0-10V analogue outputs - though I forget off the top of my head how Eltecs are wired and whether they need + or - 10V (it's the same as Zero88 suff, if I remember).

James Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Sounds like the botex one from thomann would be best for you, as in the one being discussed at the moment on another thread.... James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimac Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 the only problem I have is that, I dont think many demux's have 3 inputs? so I would need to put all the dimmers onto one cable, how would I do this? :** laughs out loud **: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Yup, Rob is correct. I just got a bit confused by your use of the words in and out in your original post. *crawls back in box and pulls lid shut* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadhippy Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 so I would need to put all the dimmers onto one cable, how would I do this?lots of lx tape and twisting of wires together?or 3 bleecon sockets to a suitable conector (25 pin d type for the unit mentioned above) for the dmux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robloxley Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 the only problem I have is that, I dont think many demux's have 3 inputs? so I would need to put all the dimmers onto one cable, how would I do this? :** laughs out loud **: OK, the desk outputs DMX; the demux has one DMX input, it then outputs a number of channels of analogue data. This output might be on one or more 24pin D type connectors, or 8 pin DIN connectors or whatever depending on the model. Therefore what you need are some adaptor leads - if you're buying the demux box then you'll have to make them; if you're hiring the demux box then you might be able to hire the correct leads with it.
