A bit OT I know, but I guess this could interest some who roam around here Hello We are about to release our RDM Stack and have written 2 test programs based...
Does anyone know the current status of a standard way of sending MIDI over Ethernet? If I recall, there were two efforts: one through the IETF over RTP, and...
I'm hard at work on the third edition of my book (no known release date yet--I'm still working on the contract, etc). The following sections/topics are "on...
... The RTP-MIDI effort is still alive and in its final stage of approval. As well, Apple have included a cut down LAN only version with OS X for the last 6...
... Any idea of when that might be done? These things are so complicated these days that I tend to wait until they are finished before even bothering to read...
... first, a small correction : MMA is pushing to use the IETF protocol, not the IEEE protocol. Currently, we can say that the IEEE initiative is dead. Only...
Hey John, Seems like a good list of things to weed out, although I would have liked to see Lonworks stay in the book. At this point I would say CAN bus can go....
I've encountered CAN bus as part of De Sisti Lighting Corp's Icarus rigging control system. At the same time I was researching profibus as a rigging control ...
Hi Erwin We have no plans at this stage, most manufacturers have implemented Artnet in their products, and Artnet supports RDM over Ethernet I think. So no...
... This is absolutely correct! I should have caught this 'small' detail. Not only that, but Apple is a prominent MMA member and is obviously interested in...
... Aha, Profibus is on my list as well. I guess the question is, when you encountered CAN (or profibus), would a brief introduction (few paragraphs) in my...
... Hello everyone. Okay, for those who care, I can try to make it more clear. An official "MMA position" is delayed pending determination of consensus of the...
... Too damn many acronyms! :-) ... I'm sad the effort died, but I'm glad that the death will result in one standard. Multiple "standards" are rarely...
I run a small show about 5 times a year which is mostly actors miming to wav files. The software we have been using is Martin Proscenium as it is able not only...
Go for Lightfactory it's the BEST product you can get, it will even make your coffee for you in the morning if you are nice to it ;-) Seriously though, we make...
Hello.... Amongst other products advocated on this list you could use our I2F MediaBrick for that. It fits exactly what you describe. (and ofcourse more) We...
If you mention them by name when you're describing the uses of deterministic protocols, that may be enough. (If you can squeeze in "You shouldn't use DMX to ...
Your boss is right. We use DMX in virtually every piece of equipment we make. Most of what we do is to move machinery. Some of it is quite large and powerful....

I should have been more precise. What I meant is "DMX shouldn't be used to move loads over people's heads." I would never intend to describe the work your...
... shouldn't be used to move loads over people's heads." << Why not? DMX is used on all kinds of equipment - in my experience non-lighting DMX enabled systems...
Doug meet Gilderfluke's Doug. Now argue it out. In some cases DMX is quite good for "machinery" modulo what the machinery is. Very large animatronics figures...
