I can appreciate the forward thinking in doing this through ACN.Originally Posted by joshgubler
Unfortunately, politics trump forward thinking in this scenario. Since every major console manufacturer has a media server or is building one, Catalyst is sort of a "Lone Gun" though it is still the best product. Console manufacturers are reluctant to make new fixture libraries for Catalyst let alone cooperate with a new standard of protocol.
If this were suggested, I know Mbox would never accomodate the connection as it is mainly Virtuoso driven, we all know the HES stance.
The only thing all consoles have in common right now is that they all have DMX and midi in/out ports.
ACN is sort of like an extended Blu-ray fight.
