[QUOTE="Martin Mueller, post: 98637, member: 28228"] I use the Falcon controllers heavily and they work great. I also prefer Vixen 3 as my sequencing software and use the Raspberry PI as my show player (running FPP software). Using the FPP software running on a PI frees up a computer to run the show. The FPP can drive a show with greater than 100000 (yes that is 5 zeros) pixels. Since you are doing a commercial installation you have a few additional worries. You need to use special care to ensure no person can come in contact with your equipment. Care to ensure everything is properly fused and that the mains runs meet local electrical codes. You must use power supplies that are grounded or protected and have housings that meet local codes. Vixen and xLights (both free) are the current workhorse sequencers for the DIY lighting community. They have very different ways of looking at your show and applying effects. For some people it is easier to understand xLights, for others Vixen makes more sense. I suggest you spend a few hours with each. Take a small effect and try to setup and sequence it on both programs. Then use the one that was easiest for you to understand. [/QUOTE]

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