work on Axon

hi,
i had only used the DL2 and not the AXON alone, but what could be fantastic is to have the oportunity to create the look directly on computer, drag and drop files in layers, open close move masks with mouse in layer window, move files position in layers with mouse.... and after create a look with times in the axon that would be send via DMX values, or, as I prefer, a function which send informations in the programmer of the console to save a cue. we could also have an interactive software with DL2s on a PC that would reproduce the interface of the axon wih slots for each DL2.

Thanks

    One media server that has an "onboard" editor is the Hippotizer. I had a chance recently to mess around with one and it is pretty slick. However, the whole time I was using it I felt that I really wanted a console to run it with. To me the joy of dmx media servers is the simplicity. One person can control lighting and digital media easily and efficiently. While there are advantages to having an offline editor, I feel the added complexity is not a fair trade off. My friend who has the Hippo says that that is all he is doing now on gigs. Just running the media server. This is working for him and his partners and they are quite successful but at that point why not have a whole video department?

    The soul of the Axon and DL-2s are that of moving lights. They just have all sorts of digital type features. That is the genius of it. They are not digital media supercomputers pigeonholed into running DMX - they are moving lights that have grown into digital tools. If you start adding anything more complex than that you run the risk of turning it into something else entirely.

    Everyone has different needs and different ways of working but just because one or two other media servers behave a certain way doesn't mean they all have to work the same way.

    Just my two cents.
