LLA Live 0.2.0 Released
LLA Live 0.2.0 has been released with new features including a web-based lighting console, Sandnet support and the ability to use the Enttec Open DMX USB devices.
As always no install is required, simply boot from the CD and you have a multi-protocol DMX gateway.
This new release can be downloaded from Sourceforge or the LLA page
ACN Specification now available
The final step in the ACN specification process has been completed and the full document is available now from ESTA. Priced at $40 US, it's available as either a PDF download or on CDROM.
ACN Finally Approved !
On the 19th of October, the ANSI Board of Standards approved E1.17-2006, Entertainment Technology - Multipurpose Network Control Protocol Suite or simply known as ACN. No major changes have been made since the last public review and the document should be available for purchase in the next few weeks.
More than 5 years after ACN was first proposed, this marks the final step before manufactures can start shipping true ACN Compatible devices.
Unofficial DMX 4 Linux 2.6 Release
Bastien Andres has made an unofficial release of DMX 4 Linux for the 2.6 series of kernels. A number of drivers have been modified to compile cleanly on 2.6 and the build system has also been cleaned.
Some drivers do not compile or are incomplete, see the STATUS_BA file in the archive for more details.

Enttec Releases RDM Tools
Enttec have released two new programs for the USB Pro that demonstrates the device's RDM capabilities. RDM Controller and RDM Responder allow the device to be used as a RDM control and response node respectively.
Both programs require that the device be upgraded to the latest firmware (v2). It seems however that support for RDM comes at a price, the send DMX on change feature no longer exists in the latest version. This appears to be due to memory restrictions within the device.
Both programs are currently in beta, and Enttec would appreciate feedback especially when used with other RDM enabled devices.
