<![CDATA[How to trigger lights with video]]>Is it possible to control small LED spotlights using Isadora and a DMX controller, I want to use 6 lights which which fade up and down at specific times which are connected to the specific points in the duration of a video. is this a simple matter of patching the action commands from the video player to the lights via the DMX controller in Isadora or do i need more hardware.

Dmxking has nice artnet 2 dmx nodes available.

I have worked with these often.

Each Envelope can control a channel of your lighting. How you get the data to your lights depends on the hardware you use -  LanBox Channels, Serial, TCP, MIDI or OSC.
