motion effects and older controllers

[beaker020]

My apologies if this is a noob question but how important is it to have all gen 3 controllers if using motion effects.?

I read somewhere that you needed eLOR and gen3 controllers for it to work. I did an inventory of my controllers and out of 7 controllers, I have 2 gen3's, (they are all residential PC controllers ). in addition I have 4 original CCR controllers, 2 dumb DMX E1.11 controllers and 1 AlphaPix16 E1.31 controller. I run  3 networks. 1 regular LOR (black dongle), 1 high speed LOR (red dongle) and 1 E1.31 network. 

I would love to add motion effects for this year, with the goal of going full RBG pixels for next year, or the year after, but I dont want to have to toss my investment in controllers this year. 

 

Thanks

Lance

If you are using Motion Effects, you A) must have a Pro level LOR software license, and B ) must use Enhanced Networking.  To do Enhanced Networking, you must have Gen 3 controllers.
