Zeus Intro

[RJ]

The Zeus is a 16 string Smart String controller that includes a built in hub and standard fuses.  It will be demoed and cooped at the upcoming Academy.
It is the part of the smart String system that handles larger string count items like mega trees ect. It is very cost effective and should run in the $45 range not including shipping, paypal fees ect.

Will the coop for this run past the academy and be open to those of us who unfortunately cannot attend?

WOW!!! You amaze us all the time RJ.

When you state it has a built in hub, will it be a active hub that will also pass out DMX??

Thank you for all you do.

The Zeus is a 16 channel Smart String controller that includes a built in hub and standard fuses.

Is that a 16 STRING controller, not channel?

+1  Academy is not in the cards for me either

I cannot wait to see it RJ!  This is going to be AWESOME!

Would Zeus still require an Active Hub or Passive Hub?  Or does this combine the hub and SSCs together?

From RJ's description its a combine hub/SSCs

At that price point, it sounds like a Pixel Net input rather than E1.31.  If so, would it have a Pixel Net output for daisy-chaining?

[rdebolt]

RJ, knowing that you are getting pounded with a million questions  AND I am sure that you are way ahead of this, but do you have a specific enclosure in mind with Zeus or will it be up to the user?

Gotta love the tease....

Yup SSC and Hubs are Pixelnet which are being combined for the Zeus controller and I would say no reason why there won't be a Pixelnet output or two of them.

Note: I haven't seen the board either at this point.

Hmm.  Color me VERY interested, although I don't even know what the Academy is.

On the titles tabs you can see the academy, in pretty basic terms it is a convention for animated lights for Halloween and Christmas.
