Home Theater DMX Video Control
Posted: 06 Dec 2008, 21:56
I have built my home theater to include DMX controlled lighting to get features such as advanced dimming and fiber optic light control. This is working very well manually, and now I would like to automate it. I would like to be able to play a video or movie, and then synchronize lighting events to the video played on the screen.
I have found products such as Enttec's for sending out DMX singles with a computer, such as through the USB port. The "Open DMX USB" seems like a very good, economical solution for me. The trouble is I have not found an inexpensive software solution that combines lighting control with playing videos/movies from a computer.
Can FreeStyler help with this? Can it be used to synchronize with videos, or work in conjunction with another player? If not, do you have any recommendations?
