Hello,
I'm new to programming...VERY new. I just might of made the mistake of buying the DMX Programmer 64ch .... It will only be a mistake if I overlooked that it can't control standard fixtures? It seems the more I read, that is is just made for programming moving lights. Is this true? Or can I still hook up standard lights to it?

Thanks Smiler

Hi BJBProductions and welcome to the forums.

You can indeed use any DMX console to control any DMX device. It simply comes down to ease of use (some consoles better at intelligent lighting and others conventional) and number of DMX universes/channels available on your particular console.

To control standard fixtures, you simply need a DMX dimmer pack or rack to plug those lights into.

Anymore questions, feel free to ask.
Thanks so much! You're the best! That's what I thought...Now is there a particular dimmer pack that I would need? What about patching? Since my board is mainly made for programming moving lights, will I need to patch the lights? (They are just cans, not intelligent)

Here's the link to the dimmer box I would like to buy, it's pretty simple, will this work?

Yeah, the lighting console I bought has 64 DMX channels, (I guess you can have up to 8 intelligent lights and each light can have up to 8 DMX channels?) Thanks for clearing that up for me. Cool
