 ===== DMX Control ===== ===== DMX Control =====
 +
 +DMX control is becoming increasingly popular as projector counts increase from 10 being a big show, to 100, to now multiple hundreds of lasers. Lighting consoles solved the issue of hundreds even thousands of fixtures before it was needed with lasers, and thus many production companies, or designers prefer to control vast quantities of lasers with their lighting consoles. However there is a few different types and complexities to doing so, and pangolin has provided a few methods to control your lasers with lighting consoles. 
 +
 +We will discuss those differences, and the methodology between them, pros and cons, and which to choose. We will also discuss how to get DMX data to pangolin and laser systems, and how to operate an effective control scheme for reliability and scalability.
