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.

That sounds ideal, as it opens up the DMX data completely. How do you access channels above 512 at the moment? Certainly the cue editor, etc, don't allow access to channel numbers above 512...


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 ;-)

I'll volunteer as a beta tester if that helps :-)
