Elation patch/ control box non-dmx lights

[tjw]

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?

hi
if i google i get the same results with both units..

and i dont see a 3pin or 5 pin XLR plug on them..

only on the SC-816 Controller i do see a XLR plug but its used for a Footswich...

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....
