OK, I've got an interesting situation. I'm planning a 5 day event with a different main stage item each day. Four of the events could benefit from a video wall upstage, and we're being offered one effectively for free. The problem is the 5th event, which is more of a traditional theatrical production with a bunch of brief acts. For this we would typically just have a cyc with RGBA strip lights. Although we would have time to hang a cyc, due to rigging restrictions this is likely a non-starter.
My thought is does a device exist that will take 3 channels of DMX (RGB) and convert that to a 1080P video output of that color? It should be an almost trivial problem to solve, but I'm wondering if a device like this actually exists. Or any other creative solutions? Key is it needs to be programmed and controlled from the lighting console (MA Dot 2) and act just like normal cyc lighting (yes I know it's not really the same). Key is that we set lighting for all the acts the day of the event, so we need the flexibility of control from the console.
If I had time I could probably build something, but I've only got two months and a day job . Any suggestions, or am I totally off the wall (pun intended.)
