Anyway the normal performance will be back to as high as possible for all LanBoxes :-)

Will be continued,

OK, we have new firmware to test which supports 3 speed DMX on the LanBox-LCX, LCE and LCM.
1. Full speed with highest performance and lowest latency between channel 1 and 512 (also on the LCE and LCM). DMX output channels must be set from 501-512.

2. Slow DMX for up to 500 DMX channels, as slow as most desks.

3. Very slow DMX for up to 250 DMX channels, for the most incompatible "DMX" fixture ;-)


Is the v2.03 just a test version or will this be implemented permanently from v2.03 ??
What about us, not having any timing problems with our fixtures ??
I use DMX channels from 1 to 120 (not all of them though)
If upgrading to v2.03, will I suffer from bad performance ??
As I understand, just the 12 top most channels (501 to 512) will offer highest performance.

I run a cheap dimmerpack 6 ch. -- no timing problem
4 pcs SGM Victory II 11 ch. / each -- no timing problem
4 pcs China made colour changers CC-PAR 1200 5 ch / each -- no timing problem.

Until last we we used 4 pcs JB The Winner scanners instead of SGM Victory II but discovered no timing errors.

Best regards
