Can I back up cues from my lighting console, for later playback?
Yes, using Luminair's Art-Net input port, you can record DMX snapshots from your lighting consoles output, to Luminair scenes. If your lighting console supports sending a DMX signal via Art-Net, communication between Luminair and the console is as simple as being connected to the same network, and making sure that the Art-Net Universe and Subnet match.
For consoles that that do not support Art-Net, you can connect a DMX to Art-Net converter to the consoles DMX output port, in order to send the signal over the network.
