So I've been thinking about buying my own lighting controller/DMX dongle to use at my school instead of the Colortran Innovator we got, I have a feeling the Innovator won't be getting replaced for a while. So I want to buy a DMX controller for myself. I really like the idea of the ETCnomad Student Bundle and that $250 dollar price tag for both the dongle and Gadget, awesome to get in real experience with the industry standard software. BUT my church uses Martin's M-PC which I also work with regularly, so what ever I buy I'd want it to work with both. I know an M-Touch wouldn't work with Nomad of course, so I want the Nomad bundle.
My question then for you, is can I use the ETC Gadget with M-PC somehow? I know M-PC outputs one universe of Art-Net for free, can I use that somehow to translate it for the Gadget? FreeStyler does have an Art-Net to DMX converter bundled with it and claims to work with a variety of DMX interfaces, I don't see the ETC Gadget on it's list though. If there is somebody out there with an ETC Gadget, could they possibly test to see if they can get output from M-PC on the Gadget or give me advice on this situation?
Thanks!
