Hi guys,
I'm involved in setting up panto at the moment. This year, we would like to be able to cue some LX cues automatically from my backing track / SFX playback system (for timed chases, bumps, blackouts, and state changes etc.).
Firstly, I am vaguely lighting-savvy, but only as an aside to my music - I am no expert, and no LX programmer, so please be gentle
I am told that the desk we will be using is the LeapFrog 96. My playback system is Show Cue System, which can usefully output MIDI (MSC), RS232, Telnet, and DMX. There is no guarantee that the board at the venue has the MIDI expansion, so can you please tell me if it is possible to 'GO' cues on the LeapFrog using DMX or Telnet?
Show Cue System DMX implementation - user assigns DMX channels to the functions: Go Button, Stop All, Pause/Resume All, Go To Top, Go Back, Go To Next.
SCS Telnet implementation - Sends the following commands: scsGO("0") [GO Button], scsGo("x"), scsGoTop, scsStop("x"), and scsStopAll - where "x" is a specific cue number.
Many thanks for any help you can offer!
Martin
