Vixen with sunlite hardware

[mimiyum]

Hi, I have a Sunlite 2048FC as in http://www.nicolaudie.com/en/suite2fcplus.htm. Having been used to the vixen software the sunlite software is a bit too complicated for me. Is there a way for me to use vixen with this hardware?

Couldn't tell exactly which Sunlite box is included in that suite. But this is a USB or Ethernet to DMX convertor box, not unlike the Enttec DMX USB Pro. However, I'm not sure that Vixen or anything else has a plug-in that understands how the Sunlite box talks to the computer.

If this box is the Ethernet type and can talk Art-Net or E1.31, then there is a plug-in that should work for that.

Hope this helps you out!

Hi Mark,
I checked the features of my Sunlite and it says

"the SUITE2-FC interfaces comes with 3 DMX universes (+ 4 Art-Net universes) and powerful standalone features: miniSD card memory, multi-zone, sunset/sunrise and daylight saving functions, IR receiver..."

Since it says Art-Net universe, does this mean I can use it with Vixen? How?

Does this have a ethernet in? If not ArtNet won't work.

From what I can tell this is a USB to DMX device, which means it will need a plug-in to work with Vixen. This topic will get better traction if you post in the Vixen Plug-ins portion of the forum.

Yes it has ethernet too. Thanks for the tip. I'll take my post to the plug-ins section of this forum!:)

Before you post, if you have ethernet and it accepts ArtNet then all you need is the artnet plugin and this will work fine. http://doityourselfchristmas.com/forums/showthread.php?5552-Artnet-support-in-Vixen..
