Hi all,
Noob here! lol
Been working with static lights for most of my professional career and now I am starting to get into the complicated world of moving lights, after several shows and working on the Perl Tiger and Titan, I was working with an LD who used a Pc to control everything, the only trouble with that was, in this venue dimmers 1 - 250 are used in the general rig, 300 - 325 are IND switch's and 400 - 450 are working lights, blues etc...
The reason why I'm posting this is I am looking to getting a program and USB 2 DMX adapter to save costs / make some money. However, from what I have read, USB to DMX is only able to control 1 universe at a time, so my question is.....
is there a program or a way that I could press GO on the Laptop program and then it in turn would fire the GO on the ETC Expression 3 (the desk we have here)??
EG:
Q1 - Go (fires ETC Go) preset out on both desk F/O
Q1.5 - Movers to next Position
Q2 - Go Movers Up
Q3 - Go (Fires ETC Go) Wash up
I hope this makes sense and that you lovely people out there can offer some advice
