ACN, ETCNet, Artnet, Oh my.

So I've tried searching the forum for ACN, and it won't work...as it's only three letters. So I'll just post a new topic.

This is what I've gathered and believe to be true...I need some confirmations...please :)

-Wholehog OS does output Artnet with the use of a DP8000.

-Wholehog OS does output Artnet from a PC (HogPC) without the use of a DP8000, or Widgets. (Hmm, so what stops the general public from purchasing a cheap artnet node in lieu of a more expensive HogPC Widget?) Or then again...does it not?

-Wholehog OS does NOT output ACN (Advanced Control Network).

-^^Therefore Wholehog OS is not compatible with an ETC Net3 control network without the use of networked DMX Input Gateways.

-Wholehog OS does NOT output ETC Net2.

-Therefore...Wholehog OS is incompatible in every regard at the current moment with an ETC Net2 or Net3 control network...without using DMX Input Gateways.

Anyone, anyone? I just need to make sure the research I've done is correct...

Thanks :)

    If you have an interest in entertainment control protocols, I'd encourage you to get involved in the ESTA Technical Standards Program. The TSP is the group charged with developing these kinds of standards, and improving interoperability.

    www.esta.org/tsp/about/index.html

    One example is the upcoming plugfest in Dallas this January. At this event, we'll have gear from many different manufacturers, plug it all in, and make sure it works. It's free, open to anyone, and and great chance to learn about protocols. Drop me a note if you'd like more information.

    Personally, I'll be bringing both RDM and E1.31 equipment
