Hello MRL InMoover's,

During the Maker Faire in Eindhoven (in The Netherlands) I was talking with Wilco about this option.
Both have experience with light consoles and know that the way of programming will makes it easier.

I've no idea if there is a option to use the same way of programming in MRL.
Now it's all done by scripts and most things are hard to make it smooth.
I mean, it's harder to combine some moves at the same time.

With a lightdesk we use a "playlist" and in this playlist we recording some "ceu's".
In one cue we can move all the servo's from Pos-A to Pos-B in a acceptible time.
A other option is to use more cue's for one complete sequence !
When ceu 1 is done, cue 2 can start after cue 1 is finished ore it can start after a small delay.
There are many options to play all the cue's to build a sequence.
For one sequence we can use many cue's as we need.
Here some info: https://www.learnstagelighting.com/introduction-jands-vista/
(I'm operating most time the ION from ETC http://www.etcconnect.com/Products/Consoles/Eos-Family/Ion/Support-Training.aspx?LangType=1033)

A other option is to create a "Art-Net / DMX service", so there is a option to use a lightdesk/software itself.

To cmmunicate with the lightdesk, there is a option which is called OSC.
http://opensoundcontrol.org/introduction-osc
https://github.com/CNMAT/OSC
With OSC commands there is a option to send a string with text only.
Like "/OpenLeftHand" when the lightdesk received this OSC command, it will start the sequence and the Left hand will open.
In the lightdesk we need to create a Macro first, which is listening to OSC commands and link this command to his goal.

For all interactive options like face detection, this can't be done by the lightdesk.
This needs to be controlled with MRL itself.

I hope it's clear what the idea is :)

Regards,
Marten
