OLA (Open Lighting Architecture) is an open source framework which provides applications with a mechanism to send and receive DMX512 using hardware devices and DMX over IP protocols. It enables software controllers to communicate with DMX hardware either via Ethernet or over traditional DMX512 networks.

OLA can also convert DMX data sent using DMX over IP protocols from one format to another, allowing devices from different manufacturers to interact with each other. For example a Strand Lighting Console using ShowNet can send DMX to an Enttec EtherGate). When combined with a physical DMX interface such as the DMX USB Pro, OLA can send and receive data from traditional wired DMX networks.

OLA can run on Linux and on Mac OS X. A port to Windows is feasible if someone wants to add the necessary platform-dependent code.
