DAC and software for Mac OS X

[djkrock]

I'm a mobile DJ and I just purchased a 330mW RGB ILDA laser. I've found tons of software and USB DAC's out there, but seemingly none that run on Mac OS X. I have a current gen intel macbook pro - any suggestions?

I'm not sure I understand.

 

[djkrock]

I was really just hoping for a program that could run in the background on the mac to display some custom text

I don't think I've ever seen any laser show software written for Mac. Even if there is, it's gonna be a bit hard to come by.

Look up LaserLine
I don't think it can do to much but worth a shot

Still no ILDA software available for mac?
Would Ideally be looking for something for Mac OS X or iOS...

 

[Elektrotechniker]

LSX works I think. or was it for linux? dunno

 

[Guyfromhe]

Laserboy was made for linux, I dunno if it would run on a MAC... Why not run VMWare or bootcamp or whatever and run Windows for ILDA?

iOS? Going to be running a laser show on your phone? :crackup:

Mac's are not known for software compatibility. If you want to run a laser show you are most likely going to have to install Win 7 or XP.

Im sure that there are some ppl over at PL who are controlling there projectors with iOS devices, can't remember how but their doing it.

VNC.. I use my android phone for show control, but only to show off briefly. IMO it's not a very workable solution at all.

Not directly with their iOS devices, the iOS devices are connected to a computer that is running the actual show.

 

[borgqueenx]

just run bootcamp, and run LSX or quickshow there

 

[Bionic-Badger]

Who would bother to write laser software for a Mac? Joking. I would just use VMWare. It should be able to access the devices on the host machine, notably the USB ports if you have a USB DAC.

 

[Guyfromhe]

Just like there's not enough MAC users to justify writing a virus for it, there's not enough MAC users to jusify writing laser software for it.

Run VMWare.

Oh, there's quite a number of mac viruses out there now that MAC's are gaining popularity. Apple still has their head stuck in the sand saying their computers are immune to viruses.
