Communication between Sunlite and others softwares
Posted: Sun Feb 08, 2015 12:43 am
Hello,
I'm a developper, and I'm searching for a solution to allow a communication between sunlite suite 2 and a third party software.
Explanation: I use sunlite suite 2 to control my lights, and an home made VJ software to control my LED screens.
I use nicolaudie EasyTime software to manage light in live, but I can't use EasyTime to control my LED screens.
So my question is: How can I export DMX data from sunlite to another software, to allow me for example to use screen like a giant RGB LED light.
I have some idea, but none seams possible:
- I can create a Sunlite Plugin to capture DMX data, and send them to my software... but the nicolaudie developper kit don't allow the plugin creation for sunlite, we can only make a software from scratch.
- I can re-use the easyview 3D protocol to capture the DMX data in my software, but I didn't find any documentation to help me to understand how easy view capture these data (I think it's possible, Freestyler use ease view 3D without any problem).
- I can add an OpenDMX interface to my computer, then connect a cable between my sunlite suite 2 output connector and the OpenDMX input cable... but this solution is very ugly, and I already need all my sunlite output connector to control my light.
Can you help me ? What is the better solution ? How can we extend Sunlite Suite 2 feature ?
Thanks
