singing faces and pixel tree, anyone have that? James? yes I am getting started on Halloween 2018, new location, three times the yard!!

A woman brought her two year old to the show last night. She posted a short clip on my wifes facebook account. This is why we do it.

I feel your pain my friend, I just got my show up and running on Sunday. My problem was my health. But at least the weather this year has. Even better. Mother nature cost me a good $500 last year. You have done a lot for folks around here, especially me, time for you to take care of your show now.

I believe it was some dude in Australia that had them. Yeah the flames were good and the rest was of the house was okay but that was SO last year.

I set up a system last year that you can set up on your own. The downside is that it requires access to your own network - and for that reason I only use it for myself so that I can kick off a given song. I suppose you could connect a DMZ network to it for public access if you wanted.

I use MIIP from "ItsMeBobO" here on the forums. Here is is his website for the various things he offers... http://itsmebob.com/SD.html It might already be too late to enroll but you can ask him. He is really great about helping to set things up if you get stuck. MIIP is an AWESOME program. MANY here on the forums use it and nothing but positive things to say about it and Bob. Good luck!

Here is the actual version not a visualizer. proving to be popular with the kids.

Very nice display and sequencing with lots of props to enjoy!

Great job, Brian! Your display looks amazing and I love how your house is visible from more than one side. I also absolutely love your song choice - I thought I knew all of the instrumental TSO songs but somehow I missed this one. Will definitely have to incorporate this song into a future show. Well done!

Here is a small example. I have four RGB snowflakes in a stack. In the pixel editor I have them laid out as as you see them in stack. I end applied a pinwheel effect on the group and you can see it sweeping across the four of them:

Twinkle and shimmer are different in DMX. When a LOR controller is operating on a LOR network, a shimmer or twinkle is a single command that the controller then interprets and generates the shimmer or twinkle. A DMX network only understands a single command - the current level. Therefore, in order to send a shimmer, the show computer or director must send a command for whatever level, followed by an off command, and repeat very quickly. A DMX network sends each channel command about 45 times per second. I see Ebuechner answered most of this too.

They will run DMX. They will also twinkle and Shimmer but in DMX the twinkle and Shimmer are dependent on the network. The LOR controllers have an internal twinkle and Shimmer that can optimize the Cycles against the 60 Cycles coming into the box for the best look when they're connected to an Lor Network using LOR proprietary protocol. So when you ask if they work exactly the same the answer is yes and no, yes they will work the same, no the twinkle and Shimmer won't look the same. I can't answer if you're high speed adapter will output DMX for sure. My best guess w
