RJ let the cat out of the bag.

He also video taped most of the class until the camera battery died.

Wow what he has in store for the future.

Well considering we shut the building down and you guys were still asking questions! :-)

Wow what a turn out, I figure a few people but man so many people turned out for my talk they had to move us to the main hall. I could not believe it!

I think the camera batt died just as I got to the good stuff.

As I have said before thr LSH guys throw a heck of a get together and they do it right!

Man I hope we can do the expo half as well it would be awesome.

Got to get some sleep as we have another long day of academy and then a late flight home with a hour drive home. Should be home around midnight.

I'd love to know when a video or a basic transcript of upcoming stuff is going to be posted.

I can't really justify coming to these types of events because of the distance, especially being in Canada and all.

Rumor has it that RJ is cloning himself to get things done :)

I heard RJ had a big crowd and they enjoyed the Q&A session

Ok, I'll share. Rj cloned himself two years ago.....,just joking.

RJ introduced his new stuff including showing us the etherdongle, the conductor and the slave to the conductor. The conductor and slave are basically an etherdongle with daughter boards added. The conductor will store up to 400 minutes of a show with sequences and music. It basically schedules and plays your show with no computer. Oh yea, it handles 16,384 channels. The slave communicates to the conductor, wired or wireless, and adds another 16,384 channels and syncs the show with the conductor. You can add as many slaves as you need. Whew. Does your head hurt yet?

That's it in a nutshell.

 Thanks guys for having me.

But a few things I annouced that we should add.

The wireless for the system if you run wireless only sends a 8 bytes of data once every second and can lose connectivity for up to 6 seconds with no ill effects. So the conection is not critical. That same data can operate 1 slave or 100 With no additional load on the system or your computer. No matter how big you get you can not overload the system. It can be controlled three different ways.

xLights have partnered with me to provide the software utility to allow those using Lsp,Lor or Vixen to seqence to load the seqence to the conductor/slave units.

LSP has agreed to partner with us to provide seamless support for Conductor/Slave setup.

One of the major lighting vendors many of us use in the community has agreed to partner with me to have smart strings manufactored with the SSC built into the strings as one of the famous green blobs that we are use to seeing on the normal led strings. They are here in the states and will have them stocked. This will save in shipping and give us someone local to deal with and quality control being greatly improved. I believe this is all great news.

Very Exciting times for us!

Great news indeed.  Will this happen in time for this year? 

RJ thanks for all your hard work and dedication to our blinky flashy addiction.
