PLEXUS Stand-alone and DMX_IN
Posted: Mon Jan 02, 2012 10:54 pm
Hello everyone.
We have few Madrix based installation, usually dmx custom made pixel walls.
Our customers don`t want any unauthorized person to making changes in Madrix setups ( young DJs etc.), so we`are making something like this:
touch-panel with I.E. MartinLJ -> usb-dmx -> dmx splitter (other club lights) -> usb-dmx-in -> server with MADRIX (program, key) -> usb-dmx-out -> our dmx-pwm controllers.
I`ts complicated, specially this part :
usb-dmx-in -> server with MADRIX (program, key) -> usb-dmx-out
we have some problems with users to power it on, off, sometimes system crash.
So when i heard about plexus, i thought that it will be perfect for my use,
standalone, preset only via sd card so i bought it.
Right now i`m an owner of.... special double usb dmx with Ethernet and two madrix start keys, with big lcd display?
Is there any chance to make with PLEXUS a real standalone fixture (for example led wall) without a computer?
Right now i have only one option to play shows in standalone mode: make a custom made switch and knob panel to use extension port.
My question is:
Is there any possibility to make any useful IN (like dmx-in, artnet-in or even MIDI_in) in stand-alone mode ?
