The thing with this is having to purchase, in addition to the software itself, an extra DMX IN adapter (unfortunately, afaik, it doesn't at this moment work with the DMX IN of a Lanbox LCX) and having to take 2 computers running Powerpoint and ethernet along on tour. All in all no problem, but it seems like a lot of hassle for such a basic thing.

Our UDP ptotocol is public and very easy to implement; The people of Capture sweden made a receiver in about one day. But even then, that would not help as you have a LanBox-LCM which has no Ethernet.


There will possibly be around 500 images, and I want to program stuff like a burst of images and then 1 image every xx seconds, et cetera. I'd like to program cue sequences like this in LcEdit and run them in a specific layer, while the lighting runs in another layer. I'm at this moment not familiar with MAX, and am afraid that I won't have enough time to get into it for this specific application, unless it's really straightforward.

MAX could be used, but RealBasic is also a very good option. In MAX you can make something which receives MIDI trigger messages from your LCM in MIDI mode, and shows the right picture.

If you can pre-program all lighting cues, so your LCM only needs MIDI triggers, then MAX is the easiest way.

I hope this helps,
