[QUOTE="Strike, post: 75279, member: 22417"] Well... I should start here and give myself a short introduction... I'm Strike and have been looking at doing computer controlled lights for around the 10 year mark now.I have been a long time reading of these (and other) forums. I signed up here almost 2 years ago. I have been looking at all of the different technologies and how they have evolved over the past few years I was originally looking into things that go blinky on and off... Like the Olsen 595 series of control cards... So in the last 12 months I've been doing a fair bit more reading and playing and have come up with a plan that suits my budget, my knowledge and (hopefully) the layout of my house. I have worked for a major commercial television station in their lighting department as well as touring with some high end companies. After I left my job there in around the 2009 era I then went and followed my dream of working for a WISP closer to home, starting in the helpdesk and moving up the ranks I ended up working within the NOC or the Network Operations Center, and responsible for a large area of fixed point wireless network islands as well as a lot of *nix based servers, this is my formal training as a Sysadmin. Fast forward a few years and that brings us to now. I had a falling out with my wife and decided that this year I would follow my dream of actually getting into the Christmas Lights. So with a bit of study this is the plan I have decided to follow: I have a PC running Vixen 3 to do my sequences to which I export to my FPP, and via a 24 Port switch I run E1.31 to control 6 SanDevices E682 to run my strings of Ray Wu RGB 2811 strip lights. I also am using 4 SanDevices E6804 to control my RGB Pixels also from Ray Wu. I am in the process of finding a E1.31 Bridge to DMX to control my dumb RGB Led Strips that have found their way into my workshop (I think that they came from family.) So I think I have got most things sorted... With any luck my 2016 will be the 1st display of many more to follow. And to answer the questions that always seem to follow yes I have read the 101 manual :) Cover to Cover at least 5 times this year alone! Thank you for your patience. Hopefully will get to chat to you all soon. (Yes I have been hanging out in the Chat Room :) ) [/QUOTE]

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