What theatre lighting control are we using?
pianoplayer asked:
I run lighting for some productions at a junior high and I’m wondering what the name is for the connection of the controls. There are three wide connectors (probably 15 to 25 pins apiece arranged similar to a pre-USB printer connector) and one 5-pin connector (not DMX) that go from the board to the wall. The wide connectors are labeled for <1-24>, <25-48>,.

Ideally, I’d like to see if there’s some way to convert whatever this protocol is to DMX for use with more current consoles.
