Maxxedia doesn't look like it has a lot of 'real time' control. Too much fiddling around with the GUI - not much control from the console.

I spoke to a dude from Case - the guys who make it - who said that the old DMX spec was a problem for them. It was really designed to be run on the Case, which can only handle 28 parameters in a fixture or something. It was horrendous to write the library. Zillions of channels across several fixtures.

What I did like was a cuelist control, so you can run the Maxxedia without a console.

Another media server where the software guys jerk off on Open GL - not what is useful to the end user.
