D54 (protocol): History & Measurement

D54 is an analogue lighting communications protocol used to control stage lighting. It was developed by Strand Lighting in the late 1970s and was originally designed to handle 384 channels. Though more advanced protocols exist such as Digital MultipleX DMX (lighting), it was widely used in larger venues such as London's West End theatres which had Strand…
