Additions:
The rainbow has been simplified to exclude indigo and "violet" becomes simple purple. So we have ROYGBP. White has been added to the end to allow for 127 universes, ultimately making it ROYGBPW.

So universe 3 would be Red and Orange, because red (1) plus orange (2) = 3. Universe 5 would be 4 + 1, so Yellow and Red. Universe 6 would then be 4 + 2, so Yellow and Orange. Universe 7 would be 4 + 2 + 1, so Yellow, Orange and Red.
Taping 3 colors on a DMX connection could be come pretty cumbersome, but a good programmer knows that universes need not be sequential. The beauty of this is that subdivisions can be made which are clearly visible. For instance. All of a particular stage could be the numbers between 8 & 15, an another stage, 16-31, allowing for one stage universes to always begin with green, and the other stage to begin with blue. This would nicely allow universes 1, 2 & 3 for the main unit, universes 4-7 for location rigging, and purple and white to cover anything beyond the ordinary.
Deletions:
===Orientation===
Any cable, whether it be socapex or [[Glossary | bates]] or a [[Glossary | single]] should always have the labels oriented such that the male-end point to the sky and the female end points to the ground. This is because, more often than not, cables drop from the grid and are viewed in this manner. It also ensure that, coupling this with lining up your labels with the key/keyhole, you will be able to read the connection as it enters the back of the dimmer rack.
The rainbow has been simplified to exclude indigo and "violet" becomes simple purple. So we have ROYGBP. White has been added to the end to allow for 63 universes, ultimately making it ROYGBPW.

Additions:
===Binary Universes===
Standardizing universe counting by applying ROY G BIV to binary counting, replacing 1s with colors and 0s with nothingness. It is beautiful.
The rainbow has been simplified to exclude indigo and "violet" becomes simple purple. So we have ROYGBP. White has been added to the end to allow for 63 universes, ultimately making it ROYGBPW.

===Break Outs===
Break-outs should be labeled to correspond with their socapex run in the correct color and label on the socapex connector and the [[Glossary | edison]] end should be labeled in white with the appropriate [[Glossary | channel]] number written in black sharpie. Alternately, for a sexier approach, black gaff tape, with a white paint pen. The exception to this rules is with [Glossary | hard power] break outs where every label (including the [[Glossary | edison]]) should be in red, as mentioned above.
Great care should be taken to orient the labels appropriately and attention should be given to the fact that there is an sequence to the break-outs themselves.
===Organizational Methods===
Socapex can be organized almost any way imaginable, here are 3 of the most common methods:
- **Channel numbers:** Some folks like to keep it simple and label the socapex with the appropriate channel numbers. If the 96-rack is channels 701-796, then the first socapex would be labeled 701-706, the second would be 707-712, and so on. This can be limiting if the channel numbers change later, then all the cable is wrong. The following 2 methods reserve the channel numbers for only the breakouts and identify socapex by rack and port.
- **Rack "1" Port "A":** This method is useful if there are multiple racks. The first number identifies which rack and the letter identifies the port. The first rack would have labels "1A", "1B", "1C" and so on. The second rack would be "2A", "2B", "2C", and so on.
- **Rack "A" Port "A":** This methods eliminates the the funky pseudo words that crop up with the previous method such as "1H" and "1I" and "1O" which can be confusing to look at. So instead, the first rack (rack "A") would have labels "AA", "AB", "AC" and so on. The second rack (rack "B") would be "BA", "BB", "BC", and so on.
