We have official closed the beta on the wireless. Much work went in to providing the members with the best devices we could and many small changes have been made to do so.
One thing I want everyone to understand is these are wireless devices and as so can be affected by other outside effects. I want everyone to understand that if you require perfection than you should not use wireless (or DMX for that matter as it is not fault tolerant).
We have done exhaustive testing on the system and find that, while very rarely, we can detect very infrequent random 25ms errors in the output sometimes requiring an hour or more of staring at a controller repeating a sequence to detect. This appears as a slight flicker for 25 ms and then perfect output again.
The nature of this system is such that perfection was never its goal. It is an extremely cost effective system for replacing all of the data cables in your DMX shows. For the cost of making one controller wireless using a commercial product

To put it into perspective none of the beta testers nor I could detect anything in a normal show only in repeating test patterns. But no one should make uninformed decisions on this or anything else such as what controllers to use so we want you to be informed with a complete disclosure of what we found in beta.
Neither I nor any of the three beta testers are hesitating on the wireless for our shows and are in fact are very excited on the outcome of the beta testing.
If you have any questions on the wireless feel free to contact one of our beta testers to ask Wbuehler, Vairmoose, Ron or I.
Please at this time check your count on the coops and make sure they are correct as we prepare to close them out and move forward with orders.
The coops for the PCB’s and Parts will close Monday June 29th at 8:00 PM E.S.T.
I am very happy to be able to share a cost effective wireless system to the DLA members.
