ventilation is provided around the product.
In order to use the controller it must be connected to the products with DMX cables and
the products must be addressed correctly. The sections below described DMX cabling

DMX cabling is required to get DMX values from the board to the products. Connect the
DMX cable from the DMX Out of the board to the DMX In of the first product in the rig.
Then connect another DMX cable from the DMX Out of the first product in the rig to the
DMX In of the next product. Continue connecting until all the products are connected.

The Foot-C 2 uses DMX addressing. The Foot-C 2 controls lights with specific DMX
addresses and the lights must be addressed correctly for the Foot-C 2 to control them.
More than one light can have the same DMX address, but lights with the same DMX
address should be the same type of light.
