LightShow Pro V2 Tips and Tricks - LSP in a nut shell

I went a wee bit further - used three controller for each.  First one I called string which is the rgb, second one is what I call hybrid which has three separate channels, and lastly one for the nodes themselves.   So for say the roof I would have  the following: roof-s (rgb); roof-h (r,g,b); roof (start addr - end addr).  Inside LSP I set up three layers 'Strings', 'Hybrids', 'Roof'    this approach allows me to use the string when I want rgb and hybrid if I want to convert say last years seqs which had separate red,gn,blue channels.   And lastly the full pixel strigns if I want to get really fancy with transitions.

While trying to cheat and re-use my 2009 120 channel sequences for my 2000+ channel 2011 display, I came up with a slightly different method to import the timing and effects without "distroying" the exisiting sequence.

I know I am new, but Im having issues with viewing the videos. My linux machine despite having the newest java version wont allow  me to view them.

Im finding this DMX setup seems simple, yet confusing to how it all hook in.

Im looking at using the teensy light controllers. About 80 to 96 channels. But also using RGB LED light strips with light show pro as the sequencer.

My hope is I can trace the eaves, roof line, and windows with the RGB LED's. But how does all this work? It looks like I have to have two different sequencers, one for the DMX stuff, and another for the teensy light controllers.
Then each strand will need its own 12 volt power supply?

Isnt there a way to use the Ethernet cables, and just daisy chain all this into a string of controllers? So I have one cable leading out of the laptop, to the teensy light controllers, and then all the mess start from there?

You need to post this question in a different thread.  I could answer a lot of these questions, but your questions have nothing to do with lightshow pro and I am reluctant to muck it up or as we say hijack a thread.
