[SML] (Long Post) Compute Stick? and Lighting control

[George Davidson]

ETC uses an intel NUC as the basis for their Nomad Puck, its a solid state
small form factor computer and is often used in digital signage 24/7

i personally like the etc consoles for east of use especially in a theater
space, It really is the theatre standard. An etc nomad licence, a NUC and
playback wing shouldn't break the bank, you are then outputting sACN or
Artnet and just need to add nodes - if its a school or attached to a school
they have a student version that they may qualify for

The other advantage of ETC is an amazing facebook support group, that the
developers actually lurk in and sometimes answer questions

for me, chamsys. hog, ma, mpc, are all more suited to touring bands or rock
shows

If your not into the ETC another console to consider is the Martin mpc, the
software version gives you 4 free uniiverses via sACN and its scales with
many real console options

For simple video control, look at the imagecue - http://imagecue.lighting/
dead simple, easy to use, simple, and standard DMX, no network BS

The next step is a PC/Mac based system like Cuelab, Screen Monkey,
Issadora, SFX......

For the architectural, pathway has a really nice wall mounted fader/slider
system - Choreo NSB

It outputs sACN, so houseLX control vs Console control is set based on sACN
priority or it can be set to merge or LTP, it just lives on the network,
Great for LED / DMX house lights, you would need a node for house lights

It can do 4 universes so presets including stage lights are possible -
configure sliders and buttons as wanted, add a button station for cleaners
or a backstage unit as needed if you want the fancy touchscreen the
original choreo is also nice
