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?

    Actually, the main thing Brad noted in that thread is that that capability has not been in Hog 2 for a very long time - it was only in the very early releases, which, if you could even find, you probably would not want . . .

    These guys just need to be coerced into an "accident" with their LWP controllers, and get with the times when they replace them . . .
