Re: Laserprojector group buy # 4
OK, not sure what you mean by the 2 channels for the effect wheel comment. Wouldn't that allow me to do whatever the progam I use allows and not just to control the wheel? This would not allow me to control everything according to the software?
What I mean by terminator is installing the DMX terminator plug in the output of the last projector. Since I only have one projector, I don't think I need it. It's this:
Amazon.com: Dmx Terminator: Musical Instruments
So, with one PD2 I would be using channels 1-19. IF that DMX interface works then whatever programs it will work with are the limiting factors on what I can do correct?
Kind of assuming you bought the expensive one because you knew it would work with the program you wanted to use.
Len, let me know if you want us to move this discussion to PMs
Thanks dan2 for trying to explain this out. Your statement "The biggest issue I found was finding software that I could understand as a novice but i'm using DMX a lot more than the two channels you will need for the effect wheel" seems to be part of the key here along with why QS is a big deal because it isn't that difficult to understand. From what I've seen most of the software out there doesn't explain things well and kind of just expects you to know what to do.
