... FX is a phonetic spelling of the word Effects. The Microvision FX was designed specifically for small effects displays. If you can get the manual then it will tell you how to program specific effects. You're biggest problem will most likely be making some 5-pin to 3-pin
DMX converters..and even that wont be very difficult. We have a Microvision FX at my work and it's a nice little board for the basic stuff...wouldn't want to run a whole show off it though. I much prefer the Express 125 and 48/96
