I'm new to DMX, and have a project upcoming that will incorporate some DMX LED tape, etc.
The project is a barn, and client wishes to have options for colored lighting for parties, hanging out, game night, etc.
My objectives:
Use a dedicated DMX controller where I can create scenes/chases, etc (on its dedicated PC software, and/or iPad app)., and have those presets be recallable from a Crestron touchscreen/CP4.
Nothing fancy, just some presets like "Christmas" (flashes Red and Green), "Blue" (turns all lights Blue), "Rainbow" (chases through all colors), etc.
It seems like the Pharaos LPC and Enttec S-Play are way overkill for what I need, and wondering if there is anything cheaper that will allow preset recall via Crestron commands over ethernet.
I also see CueServer, and did some basic work with Colorbeam.
Frankly, I'm not sure exactly what I would need (besides the LED tape, other DMX lights) to make this happen.
I do know that I would like to have a DMX controller for all control, and not use the CP4 to natively create scenes/presets, etc. via SIMPL.
Any help/input would be appreciated.
Thanks!
