DMX Input Options

[DALX]

Finally got time to start looking at ZerOS 7.14 as I was curious if the DMX Input option allowed FLX S to act as a dmx merge. It is only working on individual channels at present so for fixture 1 which happens to have dimmer as channel 1, I can control intensity, but no colour change (sad emogi). Can DMX IN eventually be expanded so fixture 1 of one desk can control all attributes of fixture 1 on another desk ? I guess it have have to use the network port to allow handshaking to confirm that the fixtures are identical ?

Thanks for OSC control and other improvements.

ZerOS will not map the DMX Input universe to a DMX output and merge the console output. DMX Input is not designed to provide full remote control of fixtures patched in the console. DMX Input can be used to control individual fixture intensities, or playback levels. Please see the links below for more information...

There are currently no plans for this functionality. What would be the real-world scenario where this could be useful?

Let me know if you have any questions.
