James Remo Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 You can control Arkaos (version 3.4 and above?) on any platform (mac or pc) via DMX, so from any console with the necessary chanel count / ltp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 This is very true!However, Congo has some extra built-in support over and above the normal network or DMX input dongle methods. Congo can connect to the Arkaos server across an ETCNet2 network and download the Arkaos patch information - names and thumbnails of the content, and show them in the Direct Selects and Channel Layouts. That said, I haven't personally tried the connection to a Mac-based Arkaos install, so I don't know if there are any pitfalls with this!It works fine on a PC-based install of Arkaos.

garsty Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Check out chamsys Great for controlling both generics and movers also has a very good cue stack system :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andystone Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 We do this with the Compulite Vector and it works with both PC and MAC based Arkaos media servers (and Hippotizer and Catalyst). On the MAC you just have to enable Windows Networking and set it up the same as you would on a PC and it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwion Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 Just to let anyone who might be interested know, I have today, after months and months of complaints and fetching Coffee for the Boss, placed an order for a ETC Congo Jr with a Playback wing.It's just like waiting for santa, but in January!Thanks to ALL who helped me with the decision making, and for the demos I've had. BRILLIANT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
