Description

  • Add information about Art-Net, sACN etc.: if fixtures support these protocols (e.g. Elation Platinum Spot 15R Pro) and how to connect them (RJ45 jack).
  • Rename DMXConnector values in schema: "3-pin" to "3-pin XLR" etc. (breaking schema change)
  • Make DMXConnector a checklist (array of allowed ones) instead of a single value

→ rename DMXConnector to something that describes both physical and network ports

Done means the schema and affected fixture data consistently support the renamed physical and network connection information without ambiguity.
