[QUOTE="AAH, post: 54740, member: 543"] As a new user you should be looking at 2 real choices. If you went with a LOR board and the basic LOR software then you would be limited to just the LOR protocol. LOR boards respond to DMX so you can pretty much control a LOR board with any sequencer except the couple of low level LOR software packages. The next stage is DMX which is used in EVERTHING including lights, lasers, servo's, snow machines etc. After you pass the need for DMX which is what most DC boards talk and is typically used with users from a few channels up to a few thousand then the next step is pixel control which is usually controlled with E1.31 (DMX over ethernet). No commercially made board that I know of does a direct E1.31 to DC although a new ACL has developed one himself. On that list you will see that I have a number of what appear to be really cheap DC boards. The only issue with these is that they connect into a 2801 or 2811 pixel network (which comes out of an E1.31 board) and as such you have to have pixels or at least a pixel board to use them. The exception to this rule is my 2801DC boards that can be directly controlled off a Raspberry Pi or Beagle Bone. Confused? It's actually quite easy once you have a board and dongle. [/QUOTE]

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