I know this has been discussed before, but I never heard the outcome of it all. Since more lights and dimmers and stuff are moving towards artnet, are you ever going to put together some sort of system for artnet? Obviously I could see the 3pc not being able to do it on it's own, but like the hog 3 and ipc? Especially now that the DL2s are artnet enabled.
Although Ethernet is indeed a powerful and useful tool.....keep in mind it will probably never replace DMX anytime soon.;)
Ethernet also has weaknesses.....like you can't have one device any more than 4 switches or hubs away from another on the same network. So putting a switch or hub in each fixture simply wouldn't work.
I highly reccommed the book "Rock Solid Ethernet" by the guy who created ArtNet in the first place, Wayne Howell.:notworthy:
