Remote Triggering a ION via a voltage source

My end goal is:

I would like my Christie Digital Cinema Automation device to trigger Macro's on my ION. the automation device outputs a voltage signal, so i'm presuming a need some sort of voltage to midi convertor?

does this sound like the quickest easiest solution? and can anyone recommend any convertors?

Ion has a relay input that you could use. It's written up in the wiki. As an alternative, Ion has a serial port and a syntax for serial strings. It may also be possible to use the ethernet connection in which case UDP strings could be used to trigger the Ion.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the serial ports on Ions actually do anything- AFAIK, if you're talking strings, and heading directly into a console, serial strings over UDP are the only way in.

For the OP's application, it sounds like the remote trigger port may be the way to go!
