The Quad Gem DMX by American DJ My kid decided it was time to get involved in Dad's videos. So, she got to "direct" this one! In this video, we give this light the full treatment by tearing it apart to look inside, check out the controlls on back, fog up the room to show it off in stand-alone mode, and play with it a bit in DMX mode. If you are in the Milwaukee or Chicago area and are watching this video BEFORE May 14th, 2008, you should come check out American DJ On Tour at Mini Max in downtown Chicago at 7:00 for free food and other free fun stuff. My way cool T-Shirt is complements of http://www.hotdjgear.com Enjoy! http://www.djtutor.com/briansredd/dmx http://www.djtutor.com/briansredd/led

In this video, I try to explain some of the basic differences between DMX and standard Microphone or Audio cable. I don't explain ALL of the differences, but I try to give some important ones to illistrate why it's a good idea to use propper DMX cable for your DMX lighting. Enjoy!
