i have a question from a console operator that i cant answer

Off the top of my head, I know that the Wholehog 3 (the full console, not Road Hog) does not have DMX ports- it uses outboard DMX processors.  Not sure about the GrandMA.

I can't speak to ETC's plans, but distributed DMX processing is one way to help deal with large shows and greater DMX channel counts.

Or another way to look at it - laptop computers have a built-in screen, while desktop computers require an external monitor.  Is either way better?

Eos was designed with the idea that it would be a large networked system.   You'd probably have a backup.  If you network your output, there is no hardline DMX switching required when changing from primary to backup.  Networking requires much less hardware and is less complex.

Does that help??
