Hello All,
I Have recently taken a position at a property in las vegas as there ME/Programmer. While i'm well versed in dimmer control and console operation, I am somewhat ignorant on methods to interface with the arch control systems in your line. The system does have portable touchscreens and locations to tie in throughout. Though i have had several shows/clients recently that wanted a more "fine tune" ability of the system in particular from there moving light consoles (WholeHog/RoadHog & MA2 in particular). The building has multiple versions of the system ranging from EtcNet 1-4, both Paradigm and Heritage Legacy, with CEM, CEM+, CEM3 Brains.
Currently i am trying to figure out a way to u interface with the system that has etcnet 2 protocol. CEM+ dimmer control module(s), multiple 48 way dimmer racks and two arch control racks (splitting space into two halves from a total of 20 room ballroom system, though the two halves are controllable from any portable port), also there is a 4-port etcnet node and a 2-port etcnet 2 node. everywhere there is a portable port for handheld there is also a ethernet jack labeled ETCNET. Neither of the nodes are inside of the ballroom space so plugging directly into them isnt an option ( not without a headache running boat load of cable.
If i've left out any details that would help please let me know either here or my email: iatsesparky720@gmail.com
Any guidance in this matter or options i am open to hearing as i am tired of telling people that i cant do something when they are spending $100's of $1000's of dollars for a show. THANX ALL.
