<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What is your house light controller / architectural control system?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m starting to gather data to replace the 3 Strand Premiere systems in my 3 venues.<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#393939"><br>
</span><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><br>
</span>What have you got?<br>
What's good about it?<br>
What's bad about it?<br>
<br>
Recommendations?<br>
<br>
Things to look out for?<br>
<br>
I need DMX output for my dimmers (or Vision Net for my C21 dimmer processors).<br>
Multi rooms per venue, multi switches per room, wide range of station types (1, 2, 4, 8, >8 button, LCD, and fader stations)<br>
Off line editor for programming.<br>
must fit existing wiring system.<br>
<br>
ETC has 4 levels of unison<br>
Strand has Vision Net<br>
<br>
What else is out there that is actually usable?<br>
(Lightolier, Leviton, Lightronics, Johnson, Lehigh)<br>
And then, once it's done in the next 3 years, who wants spare parts for their own premiere system? Lotsa switches??<br>
<br>
Thanks for the advice / recommendations.<o:p></o:p></p>
