LD Assistant & Hog 3pc

[Bri]

Hi all! Hope everyone's holiday's were great!

I have been tasked with doing some pre-visualization for an upcoming show using Hog 3pc and LD Assistant. I can't figure out how to get the two to communicate?!?!? I had no problems using Hog 3pc with Wysiwyg... Is anyone familier with LD Assistant and its dmx protocol? Do I need artnet or what? I am so confused and thought I would reach out to this forum. Thanks!

I believe you need to use artnet.


Edit: From the website:
"Connect LD Assistant 2008.5 to ETC, GrandMA, Strand, Hog III, JANDS and other lighting consoles using Art-Net and say good bye to DONGLES forever. No setup needed to connect your ETC console With sACN, you just plug your LD Assistant computer into the same network as your console and way you go."

Any idea what sACN is?? I was hoping to just connect on the same network instead of going the Artnet route...

If you are on a hog iii you need to set the output to artnet, sACN is for the ETC consoles.

Another question, would the dp-8000 be what I need? Or the dp-2000? Or is there any generic artnet router thing we could buy? I'm still a bit confused on this whole artnet thing..

And also, I would be using Hog3pc, not a console

Nothing? Anyone offer any insight?
