Setup, connect and control Lasers / Laser show setup - what you should consider
This video explains how to set up lasers at a venue and how the wiring goes for direct laser control via software (ArtNET is quite similar, just different operation mode). It starts with mounting the lasers to the truss, respecting laser safety related aspects, do the LAN wiring with integrated switch and with external switch and also deals with wiring of an E-Stop.
