By building a slower dmx controller for the slower, inferior lights would mean supporting these manufacturers. Well! If you are going to do that, let me thank you first on their behalf.

I fully agree with you, but there is a problem; many DJ and theatre desks also have slow DMX output. So, if a fixture does not work, people say it's the LanBox's fault.


Hey! I thought DMX was a single standard protocol. Is somebody going to develop DMX MKII and DMX MK III and so on just to sell more equipment.

Well, they simply don't care the standard as long as it works on certain desks (but they still call it DMX).


Maybe you should develop a "dmx slow down" patchbay or something. just to educate the world that maybe dmx is too fast for them. Not that it will sell for very long but just so that everyone will ask questions like, "How come I have to buy this slow down dmx adapter to run this light?" ... Would be very interesting for the lighting manufacturer to answer. He! He! 

I have some ideas, will be continued ;-)


No one wants an inferior light controller if they can afford it. 

Your message is loud and clear, thank you for your support.

Regards,
