In the last few years I have been running LOR Pixcon 16 boards to run my pixels and all has been good. I have now had a look at the XLights software and looks like I might jump ship, my question to all is
1: Does Xlights output a DMX signal or a E1:31 signal
2: In my show I will be running a FPP to run a matrix
3: Can I run with a LAN cable into a switch then out to the FPP (output 1) then out on (output 2 )to my LOR Pixcon 16 boards
4: Do I have to install a cross over cable from the switch to the first LOR Pixcon board
5: Do I loop in and out of the DMX ports on the LOR Boards to join all LOR Boards
6: Can I use a standard LAN cable ( not cross over) from the output of the first LOR Board to the second LOR Board and so on

Thanks

Do I need to install a E1.31 to DMX bridge device or does the LOR Pixcon 16 do that for me (I think you have to change over some jumpers on the LOR board) ?
