ChristmasCanada Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Are there any alternative controllers for RGB pixels or digital strips that will work with LOR.? I was thinking of a matrix wall with strips or pixels. The cost of a matrix using CCRs would be way to much $$$$. I'll be using the 6803 digital strips or pixel strings and I would like to find controllers that are a bit cheeper than the CCR controllers.
scubado Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 You'll want to explore this area of the forum. There is quite a buzz about this recently. http://forums.lightorama.com/forum75/

Any word on when LOR will be adding the E1.31.?I've read that I can use my 485 USB from LOR to run DMX but with an older computer would I be better to go with the Enttec Pro.?
Guest wbottomley Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 I don't know the best answer on the USB 485 vs. Enttec Pro.E1.31: http://forums.lightorama.com/forum92/31622.html

This allows more channels without data loss, or lag over the various network types.
