Hello!

I'm busy to create a DMX Lightsoftware at the Moment.
Loads of Ruby Objects and an a complete script-command-engine - known like in VirtualDJ - Keep it easy but powerful.

At the Moment we are testing the Base-Engine that moves all the fixure.

At the Moment the Software is not done complete - And it may take a lokng time until it is done. But to Show you something i did a Video:

Fixture:
6x Showtec Indigo 4500
2x GLP Impression

So it was not something big (they had too less Power only 16 Ampere)- i hope nextime i'm able to get some vids with some bigger Setup ;)

Regards

Of corse i'm verry surprised of the result of yesterday :D

Making a light Software does not able you to see it until you are on the Events :P - And getting about 50.000€ for some interestring Light ^^

Problem is the Price her - i'm glad that i found a Company that suports me with ther fixtures otherwise this would not be possible :D - To get a Feeling:
This were 2 GLP Impression:

6 Showtec Indigo 4500 (Those are not sold anymore so i took a similar)

And as you see this is nothing cheap anymore (any i thought my pioneer CDJs where expensive :P)

Regards

Audio and that sort of multimedia hardware was always absurdly expensive as far I remember, at least in relation to poorer Countries where earnings/incomes are low. But if you spent some time on learning electronics (that was my education) - you would discover what you really pay for. :-) And you would know how to make it cheaper, which is sometimes very useful skill. But in richer Countries on the other hand - I guess it's easier to find a sponsor/supporter. Most important in all of this, is the general mood and flow. If things go easy and friendly, then it does not matter how much it costs - you always have what you need.

The schematic is slow when it comes to Pushing track numbers into the 'Track Play Order Queue' - this must be improved on and is most probably due to the presence of the 2000 mSec Event Delay module - but without it I don't get the schematic to function without experiencing some other problems. :?
