What is sACN? sACN, or Streaming ACN, is an informal name for the E1.31 Streaming Protocol released by ESTA, the Entertainment Services Technology Association.
The sACN protocol is based upon a simplified usage of the full ACN standard, and is designed to provide a bridge from proprietary DMX-like TCP/IP protocols currently in use to the full ACN standard, which is backwards compatible with older lighting equipment with lower processing power
At the time of writing the E1.31 standard is still in draft; sACNView will be revised and updated as necesary when the standard is complete. However, the program is useful as of now as many manufacturers including ETC, Wybron and Pathway already support sACN to the current draft in their equipment.
