is there a possibilty of making a converter for....

... DMX to LWP.

Why, you ask? Well, some of the venues I was in last year had HES fixtures that were running off of LWP.

Instead of being difficult and making the house guys swap dip switches, I just ran them off the old I-beam controllers, using whatever crap programs they had (except once venue where the programming was so bad i shut the Technobeams off).

Plus, in one venue, just accessing the trackspots would ahve taken more time than i had available to do the swap.

If it's possible to make a DMX to LWP converter, then i could just plug in and go- just like my DMX to AMX converter for those ancient venues that still use those.

is it even possible to create such a device?

How to the T-Spots, I-beams, etc read data signal? Do they run off of DMX when in DMX mode, LWP when in LWP mode, or do they convert one format to the other to drive the fixture?

    Me neither. Only thing I can remember is a converter for Emulators to run DMX.
    Unless a LWP control device is the only thing you have it really makes no sense to not run DMX.
    :stooges: I think the word stupid comes to mind but I'll be nice and not say it. It's 2008, get with the program. What you can do now a days via DMX is fantastic and it gets bigger every day.
