Communication ports
The LanBox-LCX has USB, Ethernet and MIDI ports which can be used for communication with e.g. LCedit+, but also for show control (MIDI). The DMX input can be used to grab and/or merge the DMX data from your favorite lighting console.

Applications
The LanBox-LCX can be used for applications like: theatre, recreation, art, shows promotional, music, museums, MIDI, exhibitions, etc. It has built-in show control software and large nonvolatile memory, so you can run your lighting show completely standalone, external triggered via MIDI, USB, network (TCP/IP and AppleTalk) or sensors or just with LCedit+ on a personal computer. Bundled software includes LCedit+ a graphical lighting editor for MacOS, OSX and Windows 2000/XP.

Pricing
Attractively priced at €550 plus shipping, including power adapter, a USB cable, a normal and a cross 10BT Ethernet cable. Also includes FREE software updates AND upgrades for all future LanBox-LCX versions!
