This way you can also pickup e.g. the analog inputs of a LCX via Ethernet, or certain layers.Sounds like fun, any firmer specs/dates on this? Before summer. I was hoping to use the LCX as the "Master" controller/sequencer, thus these messages would be for other non-DMX but sychronised events such as 'play sound track x' on the PC. This would allow a sequence of reasonably complex cues to be manually sync'd to a sound track in, say, 5 minuite chunks. Well, with distributed DMX that's easy; use a few (say 4) light channels for sound control messages. Use 1 byte as command # and 3 params bytes. As -ALL- (up to 3072) light channels of a LCX will be broadcasted on Ethernet, your cumputer can pick them from the network easily, and use them for whatever is needed. With UDP broadcasting the LCX can be used for many distributed show control applications, and it also opens the way for very fast direct lighting control via network. Video or other realtime data depending DMX is then easy to built ;-) -- Fokko van Duin, Creators of the LanBox-LC CDS advanced technology bv, DMX lighting controller. http://www.cds.nl/ http://www.lanbox.com/ We are member of MIDI Manufacturers Association, MMA
