    conference session: I didn't know ACN could do that!

    DMx is 0-255 or 8 bits of data per address and can send 512 address at 43Hz that 179,224 bits per second => ~=179Kb/s.(Kbits/s) That digital data can be used for data about where a actor/ball is at/velocity/acceleration/etc. Why does does in ball need to know about what the movers are...
