Hey I need some help:
I'm subbing for a friend, who's wife just went into labor, for a wedding on Saturday. He has a variety of non-DMX lights: Pin-spots, Small PAR cans, a couple strobes and a Chauvet color bank. He's using an elation 8 Channel patch box w/ interfaces with an 8 channel elation control box.
I noticed that the elation control box has a DMX jack in the back. Can I plug that into freestyler and use it to control the lights? If so ... how?
Thanks!

Spirit:
"Patch Box": Elation Professional 8 Channel Relay Pack.
"Control Box": SC-8 Elation Professional Pattern Stand By T16 Control buttons.
The lights are American DJ
Is that good?

Hey thanks anyway. For what it's worth, on the back on one side you have the interface cable (which looks just like printer cable). On the other side you have a 3 pin plug, next to the fuse. If that helps, thanks, if not, thanks anyway for running this down for me. I appreciate it.

Come to think of it, it is probably the XLR plug.

yes the xlr is the 3-pin plug..
i also lookt if the D-SUB connetor worked on 0-10V but thats not the case.
otherwise you could used a Demultiplexer....
