Seeking standalone, high-universe sACN and Audio Player

[jholmesIWG]

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 Player' which is small, cheap, but lacks any kind of technical support and is prone to bugs.

What do you all like using in situations where leaving a computer in the field is impractical?

Alcorn McBride and Gilderfluke make stand alone show control units.

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 suggest you call them and ask about your ideas.

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