Xml to control light show...?

[Joebar]

Hi there!
I' m in the planning stage of a big activety center ,want to syncronize the light show to some of the equippment and the manufacturer says they use a "XML based notification system" ,how do i convert that to something useful like dmx for instance?
Any suggestions?
Thanx!

I'm afraid you'll need to tell us a bit more about the 'equipment', what you're trying to do, and the 'manufacturer' involved before people will be able to help you.

You'd probably have to make some software from scratch to do such a thing. It would need to parse the XML and then signal the light board in some way to react based on what the xml is saying. Depending on the console used, you could probably make your software output some sort of midi or trigger a relay. You also potentially could use something like autoit and a client software on the computer, but I suspect that would get less predictable.

Will have a meeting with the manufacturers programmer tomorrow and see if they can make it easier to get some useful signal to work with...
