[QUOTE="i13, post: 71868, member: 21708"] There is a fair bit of Light Show Pro criticism at the moment because they haven't had any updates for such a long time. I don't own Light Show Pro but I can verify that Vixen 3 is has the option to use USB DMX dongles. I have only used this with Vixen 2 because I've only upgraded to Vixen 3 this year and won't be using the USB dongle again. The DMX controllers can be daisy chained up to a maximum of 512 channels. DMX is not able to run pixels though. The USB dongle is a good starting point and worth having for testing purposes but I'd suggest getting an E1.31 controller with a DMX output if you're planning on using DMX long term due to their better reliability. Light Show Pro, Vixen, Hinkle's Lighting Sequencer and advanced LOR would all be able to output E1.31 directly but it is up to you to decide which software you prefer. E1.31 controllers can let you control the colour and brightness of every pixel light individually if you want to include pixels. You don't need pigtails to attach lights to a controller but they are convenient to have in many applications, especially with pixels. [/QUOTE]

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
