LightORamaDan Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 We are making progress with it and have set the ground work for it when we added native DMX support. As Ben monro has said it will be available in the first 1/2 of this year.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Constantino Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Do we know if it will be just E1.31 or Artnet or both. To be honest Artnet would be a beter choice. It is a standardd in the intertainment world and there are way more devices that work on Artnet rather than E1.31.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamS Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Ugh now I have to hold off a little longer to start buying stuff. Let me spend My money already! This is great news cant wait to see which direction it goes. If you wanted to say we are only using 1.31 or Artnet that would not hurt my feeling any, only my wallet.

ben Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 great to hear from you Dan on this. it is great to get it from the top that E1.31 will be used with LOR. great to know i can expand my lor software and boards with a mix of others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanglinModifiers Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Great to hear Dan! If you're looking for Beta Testers, I've got an E1.31 device just waiting to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMartin Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 This is really great news!Besides pixels, there's a lot of really good reasons to support E1.31.For example, lets say you want to run 4 or 8 DMX universes. Currently that means that many USB based dongles hanging off of your show computer.With E.131 there are a bunch of options for a single bridge unit that connects to one Ethernet port on the show computer and then has 4 (or 8) DMX out ports on it.I am already planning additions to our display for 2012 that will need multiple universes coming out of the LOR box via E1.31Can't wait!

ben Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 i think we are all counting down the days till this happens later in the year it is a great step foward i think. So happy to be a LOR user and Member here with all the new updates coming in the software this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said I was able to use 2 CAT5 USB extenders this year to remote 12 dongles (Enttec Pro's) out to the yard, rather than hanging them at the show PC. Worked very well.All future expansion will be with E1.31 though as much as possible.dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmomkr Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 It also means http://www.j1sys.com/ecg-pixad8/ will be a great fit to add pixel strings. The above device has a pixel driver built right in for support of 6803 and 2801.Same for Sandevices - http://www.sandevices.com/E681info.htmlUsing the above hardware with E1.31 support, I'll be able to eliminate my Enttec dongle and pixel controllers.

I have been eyeing these for a short time and its seems quite a few people keep sending me the same links. That Pixel contorller will change the game for many of us.

edvas69 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I wonder if there will be any limitations put on E1.31 as i cant see LOR offering E1.31 without some conditions, they do have a company to run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geronc Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I have 2 of the e681's. Just waiting on lor to support it natively. They work great with the GE color effects and LSP. incredible pixel controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 really looking forward to E1.31 now I am working in DMX mode with 253 Channels which will expand rapidly over the next couple of years with the introduction of pixels to my display Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used three E680s on the megatree last season and am waiting for native support from LOR to use the rest.One HUGE question I have though, is how well will LOR S3 run with 8,000 channels configured? I used to think I was pushing it with 650 channels but the sequences are going to get *huge* very shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpctech Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Dan,I would like to be E1.31 beta tester. We are a LOR partner I also have may sANC devices including current production hardware from ETC including nodes, dimmers, procressors, and light console. I would be really cool to integrate LOR to do light syncing on the same sACN network with a ETC ION console for production!! I am ready to sell this!! Also think about triggering a LOR sequence from a DMX input similar to the way the Madrix works. This would very much simplifiy integration of pro showsKENPresident TPC Technologies Inc. and ETC Field service tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sequences did start to get big and a pain to deal with, but show performance was fine. Sequencing was more sluggish than you would prefer though.dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
