Using more then one Kit74

[mikeh65]

I am new to Vixen, I have a Kit74 setup and everything is working great. I would like to expand my show going into next year. I also work ing the Haunted House industry and we use a lot of Kit74s. With different software they work great with multiple inputs to trigger events. Anyway, I was wondering if I can use more then one Kit74 with Vixen. If I have three parallel ports in the computer can Vixen control all at once. In the end, have 24 channels.

yes, vixen can control multiple ports... just put the kit74 on the end, and assign the correct plugin to the correct port address and its good to go

now i am not one to lead you into thinking your kit 74 will last if you are doing any real sequencing. the kit uses mechanical relays, which are not made to switch loads fast. It can be done, and it will work for some time, and maybe quite awhile if you are using a small load, but they will fail alot faster than a Solid State Relay.
