I am working on a project with a few hundred universes of RGB pixel data and a Q-Sys audio player. I am thinking of using multiple S-Plays synced together to achieve control of the pixels. End result will essentially be a large oddly-shaped matrix. Can anyone vouch for the stability/reliability...

This is great insight! Thank you

Hello! This is intended to replicate a large painted portrait so im looking at a 65” that I can turn vertical (but im not married to that exact size).Yes, Blacks are key. Budget is very good.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a video monitor that would be good to replicate the concept of a moving portrait? This is for an Halloween immersive experience we are building.

Thanks :)Stereo output (2.1) is just fine for me. I’d love to know how a headless Mac Mini would work?Would you say the BinLoop or the Video Machine from Alcorn McBride is most cost effective?

Hello :)I’m wondering if anyone has a recommendation for an audio playback device that is networked, so it can accept UDP start/stop commands as well as be updated over network rather than through USB or other physical media.Thanks!

I have! Had a great chat. We would be pushing the envelope of their current capabilities but they seem like great guys.

Thanks for the insight. I’ve added this to my test list and will let you all know how it goes.Considering I’ve got 5 different softwares to try now…this might just have to become a YouTube or Instagram series haha.

Thank you! Since multiple replies came in, I'll consolidate into a response now.- I do need to share these documents with other team members. One day it might be a floor plan, the next its a lighting plot over that floor-plan (particularly common in haunted houses).- 2D is necessary, 3D is a...

I just looked into this and it does play audio on a timeline, so that's great :). I am trying to see whether it will output Timecode over the network but I can't find it. What would be the industry term for that?

I bought two of the RT units as well this year and had issues. I just wanted to record a short, 1-2 second recording that was triggered for playback but I could not get it to work consistently.

Hello! Hoping to start a solid chain of wonderful sACN (e1.31) players that also do audio playback in sync with the lighting data.Naturally, ETC/Pharos have their Mosaic line which can do 2,000+ universes but its tens of thousands of dollars. On the other end, you have the DIY 'Falcon Pi...

My vote is the DMXKing as well. If you want standalone pixel control then I highly recommend the Advatek MK3 line.

Hello! I have searched the forums but am struggling to find a good answer:TLDR; Other than Vectorworks what are some great software options for design documents? I'd particularly like something that can draw in scale.Backstory: - I work in seasonal attractions, creating haunted houses...
